Nutrition and Microbiota: 7 Milestones from Research
The World Microbiome Day 2024 is approaching, and this year it will focus on the relationship between gut microbiota and nutrition. On the occasion of this event, we will revisit some key milestones in scientific research on this topic through ten articles published on Microbioma.it.
These articles provide an overview of the complex interactions between diet and microbiota, highlighting the importance of nutrition for optimal health.
High-sugar diet could disrupt microbiota, increase odds of obesity and diabetes
The findings of a new study suggest that the interplay between diet, microbiota and intestinal immunity regulates obesity, diabetes and other metabolic conditions.
A mother’s diet can change the infant microbiota, prevent respiratory infection
Diet-induced changes in the gut microbiota confer protection against respiratory infections by regulating the development of key components of the immune system.
Alterations in the gut microbiota may drive binge eating, mice study suggests
The findings of a recent study suggest that the interplay between the microbiota, the gut and the brain drives binge-eating disorders.
The cloudy link between gut microbes and obesity
Although a causative relationship between obesity and gut microbes remains unclear, microbiota-based treatments may help to combat obesity.
Diet switching quickly impacts the gut microbiota and immune system
Two weeks of dietary intervention are sufficient to influence host immunity, metabolism and gut microbiota composition.
The interplay of diet and the microbiota may influence gut inflammation
The results of a recent study suggest that certain dietary changes can counteract bacterial functions that promote disease. The findings thus underscore the importance of examining microbial functions to understand IBDs.
Industrial societies may be losing gut microbes that help digest plants
The findings of a recent study suggest that Ruminococcus bacteria were more prevalent in ancient human populations and non-industrialized societies, likely due to the high dietary fiber intake.
