Q&A: Exercise seems to groom microbiome in ways that affect overall health, wellbeing
According to a Q&A article on Healio, exercise can positively impact the microbiome in ways that contribute to overall health and wellbeing. The article cites several studies that have linked regular physical activity to an increase in beneficial gut bacteria and a decrease in harmful bacteria, leading to improved digestion, reduced inflammation, and a stronger immune system. The Q&A also touches on the role of diet in shaping the microbiome and emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balanced, plant-based diet in conjunction with exercise. While the exact mechanisms by which exercise influences the microbiome are still being studied, evidence suggests that staying active can have a profound impact on gut health and overall wellness.
