Microbiota vs Microbiome

The human microbiota is the name given to all the microorganisms living in and on your body. These communities of microorganisms are crucial for human health, disease risk and longevity.

Gut health is influenced by food, stress, medications, personal care products, your home environment, exercise and even time in nature can influence a microbiome. Restoring a healthy microbiome, therefore, takes a multifaceted approach.

Prebiotics and Probiotics

Prebiotics are the food sources for gut microorganisms which encourages them to proliferate and create a healthy GI Tract.
Prebiotic foods include high fiber foods, most vegetables, and legumes.

Microbiome Testing

Science has revealed the reasons why your gut biome is so crucial to your health and longevity. This cutting-edge science is now available to you with personalized microbiome test kits you can do in the comfort of your own home.

Probiotics may be beneficial for babies especially if there has been antibiotics use and especially if the birth was a caesarian.

A Caesar birth means babies miss out on the flora they would have received from their mother through the birth canal.

Because the flora is crucial for immunity it may be beneficial to supplement a baby with probiotics.

It is important to use probiotics appropriate for a baby as the microbiome changes as you get older although some species are appropriate at any age. for example

Lactobacillus Rhamnosus
Lactobaciilus acidophillus
Bifidobacterium.
