With the advancement of medicine, our population is undergoing a prolonged aging process. Over the next three decades, the global population aged over 65 years is set to more than double, reaching a staggering 1.5 billion individuals. The emergence of the gut microbiota as a potent modulator of healthy aging requires a concerted effort to allocate resources and research towards developing interventions aimed at promoting optimal gut health and longevity.
Will gut microbiota provide the solution to all of our health problems?
23 Apr 2020by Patrice D. Cani
Gut microbiota, with its close links to metabolism and the immune system, could potentially be a factor that lies at the core of good health. This means it can be positioned at the heart of the processes that influence the risk of contracting different diseases.
Gut microbiota is the human body's most complex, diverse and numerous ecosystem of all, particularly in the caecum, where the density of microorganisms is the highest.
