Gut bacteria live in communities throughout your digestive tract. They do many things for you while they hang out there. They help digest your food, synthesize vitamins and metabolites that make you healthy, and help train your immune system.
But since the science is so new, there’s a lot to digest(Pun intended). As a result, there are a lot of products out there promising to help take your gut bacteria to the next level.
So how do you build a healthy gut microbiome teeming with the kinds of bacteria that will make you healthy? Well, first, it helps to understand how the whole system works.
Microorganisms don’t just camp out anywhere. Their genes largely dictate where they can live, and those genes make them suited for very specific conditions. It’s almost like a landlord-tenant relationship.
