Your gut and Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer; News from the web:
The gut microbiome has been seen to affect our overall health. From our immune system, to appetite and metabolism, our gut microbiota has many influences on our health. The microbiome is composed of bacteria, archaea, viruses, and eukaryotic microbes that reside in and on our bodies. These microbes have tremendous potential to impact our physiology, both in health and in disease. Each person has an entirely unique network of microbiota that is originally determined by one’s DNA. A person is first exposed to microorganisms as an infant, and later on, environmental exposures and diet can change one’s microbiome to be either beneficial to health or place one at greater risk for disease. New research demonstrates that changes to our gut microbiome can be linked to Alzheimer’s-like behavior.
