The microbiome

Small organisms, big impact

The microbiome is the entirety of all genes of human microorganisms. It influences our immune system, metabolism and mental health.

The microbiome changes over the course of a lifetime. External as well as internal factors, such as diet, medication, environment and age, can influence the microbiome balance. This can lead to unpleasant symptoms such as digestive problems, allergies and even depression.

To maintain or restore a healthy microbiome, it is important to eat a balanced diet, take probiotic foods and supplements, reduce stress and lead a healthy lifestyle.
