What is microbiome & how to improve it and its possible to treat disease by altering the microbiome
What is the microbiome?
The term “microbiome” is used to describe the specific group of microorganisms (like fungi, bacteria, and viruses) that live in a certain place. There are a lot of different kinds of microorganisms that live in or on the body. The word is often used to describe this group (e.g., in the stomach or on the skin). A person has about 40 trillion bacteria and other microbes in their body.
Many of these microbiomes help us stay healthy. But inflammation, diet, and other things can change the microbiome. A lot of different illnesses can be caused by changes in the way your body works like cancer, autoimmune disease, and cardiovascular disease.
Narration- Microbiome. They are small organisms that we can only see a little bit with the help of a microscope, like bacteria and viruses. This is why these microbes are found all over the place. They live in the soil, in the water, and on us. There is a new term called the “microbiome” that refers to all of the genetic material in a single microbe, such as one of these bacteria. Microbiomes are made up of everything that a microbe has in its DNA.

How can I improve my microbiome?
1. There are many vegetables out there, so make sure that you eat them!
It’s especially the leafy green ones that are my favorite! Vegetables are full of fibers that people can’t break down, but the good bacteria in your gut eat them. People who eat a lot of fruits and vegetables are less likely to have bacteria that cause sickness. Vegetables that feed your microbes are some of the best:
· Leeks
· Onions
· Asparagus
· Broccoli
· Spinach
· Artichokes
2. Eliminate sugar and processed foods
You’re already quite sweet! Monosaccharides, or rapidly digesting sugars, are metabolized so quickly that your small microorganisms never get a chance to eat them! If you consume an excessive amount of simple carbohydrates on a daily basis, you risk actually starving your microbiota to death. Additionally, hungry microorganisms will attack the lining of your gut, causing inflammation. Attempt to incorporate more foods with complex carbohydrates into your diet in order to maintain a happy and healthy microbiota. Here is a list of sweet meals that will satisfy both you and your stomach!
· Honey
· Dark Chocolate
· Coconut Flour
· Apples
· Berries
· Bananas
· Mango
· Sweet Potatoes
Additionally, keep a watch out for dangerous hidden monosaccharide sources. Sugar may find its way into meals that you would never suspect. Maintain a close check on the sugar content in smoothies, nut butter, protein bars, salad dressings, and even a gut-favorite… yogurt!
3. Probiotics are beneficial to your gut health.
Probiotics are teeming with live bacteria that will assist in guaranteeing that your gut is mostly filled with beneficial germs. You may get a decent probiotic supplement at your local health food shop; however, you should consult your physician on the appropriate strains of cultures for you and the disease you are attempting to address. There are several probiotic products on the market that claim to contain live cultures but do not, so it is critical to conduct research and consult with a qualified dietitian or health care professional before selecting the proper probiotic for you.
4. Abstain from Antibiotics
If probiotics are the best friend of your gut, then antibiotics are its worst adversary!
Antibiotics operate by eradicating all bacteria, which makes them extremely successful in treating diseases but extremely detrimental to your microbiome. The antibiotic is unable to distinguish between good and dangerous gut microorganisms. They operate on the ‘kill now, ask questions later philosophy. Purchase antibiotic-free animal products whenever possible, and if you are prescribed an antibiotic to treat a virus, ensure that you take a probiotic daily for the duration of your medication to help replace your gut bacteria.
5. Stock up on prebiotic-rich foods.
Prebiotics are essential nutrients for your microbiota! It is critical to feed these tiny guys in order to provide them with the energy they require to do their critical role of controlling your enteric nervous system. The following is a list of dietary prebiotics that should be household staples:
· Whole Grains
· Apples
· Leeks
· Onions
· Garlic
· Cocoa Extracts
· Garlic
· Bananas
· Asparagus
· Nuts
· Seeds
· Red Wine Extracts
· Root Vegetables
· Beans
· Lentils
· Chickpeas
· Green Tea Extracts
6. Fermented foods are beneficial to the intestines.
Fermented foods, on the other hand, are an excellent source of probiotics. Yogurt is a popular choice, but if you’re going to consume a lot of it, be sure it’s sugar-free! There are numerous other possibilities that are an excellent source of beneficial microorganisms. Kombucha is rapidly gaining popularity as a source of probiotics. Additionally, you may consume pickles, kimchee, and kefir to ensure that you’re consuming enough living cultures to maintain a healthy and happy gut.
7. Reduce your intake of red meat.
Apart from the fact that many meat companies are notorious for using antibiotics to raise their cattle, which is hazardous to your gut, there have been multiple studies demonstrating vegetarians have better microbiomes. For example, a vegetarian’s stomach contains much less disease-causing bacteria than an omnivore’s gut. However, it is unknown if this is related to the absence of meat consumption or the fact that vegetarians and plant-based eaters consume far more fiber than the typical person.
8. It is now much past your bedtime!
Getting adequate sleep is critical! According to studies, individuals with unpredictable sleeping habits risk changing their microbiota and developing inflammatory disorders. Attempt to obtain at least 8 hours of sleep every night.
9. Go to the gym
It seems to your microbes that if they’re working so hard to keep you healthy, then you should be working as hard as well. Healthy and diverse microbiomes can be found in people who do a lot of exercises. After a long day, one of the best ways to get rid of stress is by working out. It doesn’t even have to be very long walks every day to have a big effect on your gut health. These little microbes can help keep your stress levels under control and your mental health strong.
10. Make some time for yourself!
Say ‘no’ more frequently, and experiment with meditation, mindfulness, yoga, or tai chi. Making a conscious effort to maintain balance in your life will benefit your mental and emotional health, as well as your gut and general health. Your microbiome may be severely affected by stress, and you require a healthy microbiome to help you manage your stresses. In the event that you are not cautious, you may find yourself trapped in an unhealthy cycle if you do not give yourself enough time to re-energize.

The gut microbiome is very important because it helps the body stay healthy.
The human body has multiple diverse microbiomes, including those on the skin, in the mouth, and in our airways, but the most important for health is the microbiome found in the digestive system, which is referred to as the gut microbiome. The millions of microorganisms that live in the large intestine continually exchange chemical signals with the body’s cells and assist in the digestion of food. It is believed by some researchers that the gut microbiome is a separate organ from the rest of the body, that it has a mutualistic or symbiotic connection with the body, and that it helps to maintain the correct functioning of the digestive system as well as other internal organs and systems.
This microbiome is dependent on a delicate balance of certain types of bacteria that supply the services that the body needs to function properly. In certain cases, one type of bacteria is discovered to be deficient, while another type becomes more prevalent than others, which can cause the system to go out of balance. Known as dysbiosis, this condition has the potential to cause a variety of health concerns.
Is it possible to treat disease by altering the microbiome?
These findings may create the notion that if abnormalities of the microbiome are linked to disease, then restoring a “healthy” microbiome may be a viable treatment option for the diseases that have been identified. However, many of the early ties between the microbiome and health are just correlations, meaning that researchers have collected differences between the microbiomes of healthy people and those with a disease, but have not yet figured out what those differences are. Despite our progress, we still have a lot to learn about the exact processes and microorganism kinds that cause these abnormalities.

Probiotics, which are bacterial concoctions that can help restore a healthy balance to the microbiome, are a frequent technique of altering the microbiome to enhance health. However, the majority of typical probiotic supplements offered in drugstores and meals such as yogurt are likely to simply pass through the system without effectively colonization the gastrointestinal tract. In the future, more effective treatments may become available: Nagler and UChicago biomolecular engineer Jeffrey Hubbell are creating medicines for the gut microbiome through their academic startup business ClostraBio, which is collaborating with other researchers to produce targeted, precise treatments that interact with the gut microbiota.
A person’s microbiome can even have an impact on how his or her body responds to medical treatment. University of Chicago cancer researcher Tom Gajewski has discovered that increasing the presence of particular bacteria strains in the stomach can boost the response rate of melanoma patients who are receiving immunotherapy treatment for the disease. When these medications are administered to patients, they are intended to stimulate the immune system’s response to cancer, and the presence of these bacteria appears to increase the efficacy of immunological T-cells as they penetrate tumors and destroy cancer cells. This implies that probiotics, which include these immune-stimulating microorganisms, may one day be utilized to supplement immunotherapy treatments. In a similar vein, Prof. Eric Pamer discovered that cancer patients who had a more diverse gut microbiota had higher success rates following transplantation.
