The future is yours! Why is the microbiome the key to health, happiness, success, and serenity?
A healthy microbiome, which maintains the diversity and balance of microorganisms in the body, can be a key to a healthy life . Why is this so?
1. Digestion and Nutrient Absorption : A balanced microbiome contributes significantly to digestion by aiding in the breakdown of food and assisting in the absorption of nutrients. A healthy microbiome also supports the production of enzymes that aid in the breakdown of food.
2. Strengthening the immune system : A large part of the immune system is located in the gut, where interactions with microorganisms occur. A healthy microbiome helps strengthen the immune system by maintaining a balance between harmful and beneficial bacteria, thus reducing inflammation and supporting disease defense.
3. Protection against disease : A healthy microbiome can reduce the risk of various diseases, including intestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), as well as metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity.
4. Regulation of mood and mental well-being : There is a strong connection between the gut and the brain, known as the gut-brain axis. A healthy microbiome can help regulate mood and improve mental well-being by influencing the production of neurotransmitters important for gut-brain communication.
5. Protection from antibiotic-associated side effects : Antibiotics can disrupt the microbiome, leading to unwanted side effects such as diarrhea and Candida infections. A healthy microbiome can help reduce these side effects and promote the restoration of normal bacterial balance.
The current study (CNIC)* confirms: Overall, a healthy microbiome is crucial for maintaining physical health, mental well-being and immunity, and can therefore make a significant contribution to a healthy life.

*Current research confirms that a healthy microbiome is crucial for physical health, mental well-being, and immune function. A study by the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) shows that a damaged gut caused by poor diet, alcohol, or stress is associated with increased inflammation and a higher risk of inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, an article in "Der Nervenarzt" emphasizes the bidirectional communication between the microbiome and neuronal functions, with dysregulation in this interaction leading to psychiatric symptoms. A healthy gut therefore not only supports digestion but also strengthens the immune system and positively influences mood.
