How Microbiomes Can Influence Your Health And Wellness

By Ruth Jackson


Many people often attribute health and wellness based on the food we eat and our overall lifestyle. However, research suggests that miniscule bodies living within ourselves can also play a key in determining how optimal our body functions are. Here are some interesting facts to learn from Microbiome Data Analysis in Mississippi State.

To start, micro biomes refer to tiny organisms that exist within our bodies. One such example is bacteria although fungi, viruses, and even other microbes classified as having a single cell also fall under this category. While some of these components are pathogenic, research suggests that they actually do play a role in making sure our bodies work normally.

For example gut flora. Most scientists tend to focus their energy into this particular area of the body due to the fact that the large intestine contains various communities of bacteria. Each of which plays a vital role which may include fighting against invaders, metabolizing food compounds, and maintains the lining of both the large and small intestine.

In the case of fighting against invaders, most bacteria flora in the intestine directly attacks foreign bodies by secreting substances that can destroy or hinder its harmful effects. Additionally, they also help regulate the production of antibodies by providing signals that triggers the immune system. Both functions help one to withstand against harmful pathogens.

Each classification or group performs a set of tasks that helps ensures optimal function inside the body. One way on how these components can affect bodily health is it offers an efficient defense system against pathogens. To protect the host from harm, these organisms may start colonizing the space of invaders and secret substances that may kill or prevent any unwanted visitors.

Bacteroidetes is responsible for breaking down proteins and complex sugars while firmicutes which metabolizes carbohydrates. Experts found that most obese people tend to have a higher number of firmicutes while having low bacteroidetes compared to individuals who have a normal weight range. Additionally, persons who have a fair enough balance between the two may lead to weight loss which results in better management of body mass.

Another role that microbes play in regards to our health is the fact that it can also control blood sugar levels. Since there certain bacteria strains inside the gut can trigger inflammation, eating certain foods can lead to triggering these receptors, making the body produce more insulin than normal. This effect can also change the way your body responds to insulin.

Persons who regularly consume a high fat and high sugar diet often fall prey to these side effects. Eating too much of these foods lead the body to become resistant to insulin which can lead to type two diabetes. This of course results to the person to become susceptible to other conditions since the immune system becomes warped.

With so many other groups of micro biomes to study, one can expect that ongoing research will continue so long as it is possible. Fortunately, modern technology can help reduce time constraints significantly by allowing one to gather data as efficiently as possible. All of which can help introduce new innovations to society.
