Your gut bacteria are important for your immune system, heart, weight and many other aspects of health. An imbalance of healthy and unhealthy microbes is sometimes called gut dysbiosis, and it may contribute to weight gain.

Certain healthy bacteria in the microbiome can also improve gut health. Certain Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli, which are found in probiotics and yogurt, can help seal gaps between intestinal cells and prevent leaky gut syndrome.

Certain bacteria within the microbiome convert choline and L-carnitine, both of which are nutrients found in red meat and other animal-based food sources, to TMAO, potentially increasing risk factors for heart disease. other bacteria within the gut microbiome, particularly Lactobacilli, may help reduce cholesterol.

The gut microbiome plays a very important role in your health by helping control digestion and benefiting your immune system and many other aspects of health. To help support the growth of healthy microbes in your gut, eat a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fermented foods.
