An interview with José Clemente: “Early life changes in microbiota as a result of C-Section may be responsible for diseases in children later on”
During the 5th Gut Microbiota for Health World Summit 2016 José Clemente, assistant professor at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, talk about the importance of gut microbiota at early life.
Researcher José Clemente, assistant professor at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, investigates whether we can revert the effects of an abnormal microbial colonisation after, for instance, a C-section. He attended the 5th Gut Microbiota for Health World Summit 2016, held in Miami and we had the opportunity to interview him and talk about the importance of gut microbiota at early life. We hope you enjoy the interview.
Restrictive diets in terms of calories and nutrients are widespread among people. Although this type of diets could help with weight loss in the short term, their long-term effects on the gut microbiome and overall health remain unknown.
Growing research suggests gut microbes are involved not only in all aspects of body function, but also in healthy aging. New findings show that the gut microbiome could help restore aging-related immune and cognitive impairments.
Although it was previously thought that the infant gut microbiota would attain an adult-like structure by the age of 3, recent studies have suggested that the gut community of microorganisms continues to evolve in both pre-adolescents and 20-year-olds.
