Fermented foods, such as yoghurt and kefir, are great sources of this immune-boosting microbe.
The organisms living in your gut microbiome can influence your mental and physical health. Researchers have developed a way to better test for those biological effects.
Here’s why a healthy balance of microbes is important for astronauts when they travel to Mars and beyond.
Improve your gut microbiome health and you improve so many aspects of your overall health. Here’s how to do it.
Probiotics are great for your gut, but which sources contain the most beneficial bacteria? Newly developed sensors are helping scientists figure it out.
If you try supplements, you still need to eat a healthy diet, exercise, reduce your stress, quit smoking and get enough sleep. Even then, they may still not be enough.
In the past two decades, technology has allowed scientists to learn so much more about the human body and its microbiomes. These discoveries may pave the way to new therapies.
Our microbiota is linked to essential physiological processes, but when its communication falters, our health can suffer. Synthetic probiotics offer a promising approach to treating gut-brain axis disorders.
Research suggests there could be a link between hay fever and the microbiome. Exploring this connection paves the way for potential treatments.
No, your vagina does not need vaginal health gummies.
The Food Compass system scores foods based on variables like the amounts of refined grains and sugars, processing and healthful ingredients. People who ate better-scoring foods had better overall health.
Our latest study adds further evidence that diet and mental health are closely connected.
Your body produces postbiotics after digesting prebiotic and probiotic foods – and many postbiotics are crucial to good gut health.
Could a new probiotic supplement really cure your hangover?
Many school lunchbox products are now heavily marketed as promoting gut health. The limited regulation of such claims leaves it to parents and carers to assess whether they really stack up.
