Your microbiome, a bustling community of bacteria, holds the key to overall health. Astonishingly, the microbiomes of African and European children differ significantly. The Western microbiome, dominated by Firmicutes over Bacteroidetes, shapes 90% of our microbiome.
Firmicutes and Weight Connection: Firmicutes, labeled as "fat-loving" bacteria, excel at calorie extraction, promoting fat storage. A study in Cell Host & Microbe confirmed their role in fat absorption and weight gain. Obese individuals exhibit higher Firmicutes levels, contrasting with lean counterparts dominated by Bacteroidetes.
Beyond Weight: The Microbiome's Impact: Elevated Firmicutes in Western microbiomes correlate with increased risks of obesity, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. The Firmicutes-Bacteroidetes ratio significantly influences genetic expression, emphasizing the crucial role of diet in gut health.
Food, Body, and Environmental Impact: While dietary choices profoundly affect gut health, external factors often overlooked—such as colognes, perfumes, air fresheners, and household products—contribute significantly to overall well-being.
