The microbiome of the human body and its link to chronic disease is gaining popularity. A new study looks into this relationship, as well as how the foods we eat affect the composition of our microbiome.
The microbiome defends the host and influences illness risk.
The microbiome is made up of the genes of microscopic creatures (bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms) that live in the gastrointestinal tract, mainly the small and large intestine. The typical gut flora, often known as the microbiome, safeguards its human host. The appropriate balance must exist for the microbiome to thrive, with the healthy species overpowering the less healthy.
Scientists are still figuring out how the microbiome influences the risk of chronic diseases including heart disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. Many factors, including individual variances and dietary preferences, have made this a tough topic to research.
A new study looks into the links between nutrition, microbiota, and disease risk.
However, a new study considers these aspects and offers insight into how our meals alter our microbiome and, in turn, how our microbiota increases our illness risk.
The researchers looked at over 1,100 people who were part of PREDICT 1, a major study that looked at people's reactions to eating. They identified, classified, measured, and analyzed genetic material from the research participants' microbiomes using a technique called metagenomic sequencing. They also gathered thorough, long-term dietary intake data from all of these people to assess their eating habits, including their intake of various food groups, foods, and nutrients. They also gathered data from research participants on a variety of parameters that have been linked to metabolism and disease risk, such as pre-and post-meal blood sugar (glucose), cholesterol, and inflammatory levels.
Finally, they measured the study participants' health characteristics, such as age, weight, BMI, body fat, and blood pressure.
Diet has an impact on the microbiome, and the microbiome has an impact on illness risk.
Diet has an impact on the microbiome's health, and the microbiome's composition has an impact on the risk of health consequences, according to the study. Specific gut microorganisms were linked to specific nutrients, foods, food groups, and overall diet composition, according to the findings. Diet-induced changes to the microbiome were found to have the greatest impact on health issues such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and general inflammation.
Less healthful dietary patterns (dairy desserts, fatty meats, processed foods, for example) promoted gut species that were linked to blood sugar, cholesterol, and inflammatory levels that are linked to an increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, and type 2 diabetes.
A more diversified gut microbiota, on the other hand, was associated with good dietary habits (high-fiber vegetables like spinach and broccoli, almonds, and healthy animal foods like fish and eggs) and were linked to a reduced risk of certain chronic diseases. Polyunsaturated fats (found in fish, walnuts, pumpkin, flax and chia seeds, sunflower, safflower, and unhydrogenated soybean oils) also promote healthy gut species related to a lower risk of chronic disease, according to the research.
A plant-based, minimally processed diet is excellent for the microbiota and reduces illness risk.
So, what are the implications of these results for us? For starters, the study found that consuming more unprocessed plant foods including fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains helps the gut microbiome thrive. Fish and eggs are two examples of animal meals that are beneficial. Avoiding animal foods like red meat and bacon, dairy foods, and highly processed foods (including processed plant foods like sauces, baked beans, juices, or sugar-sweetened drinks and desserts) keeps less-healthy gut bacteria at bay.
It's worth noting that food quality mattered; processed or ultra-processed plant-based diets were not linked to gut microbial clusters that were healthy. Consider if the food is processed or unprocessed, as well as whether it is plant or animal food before making your selection.It's also a good idea to think about dietary patterns rather than specific foods or food groupings. The whole-food, plant-based dietary patterns highlight foods that are good for the microbiome. Vegan (no animal products) and ovo-vegetarian (vegetarian with eggs) diets are examples of this. The pescatarian eating pattern, which emphasizes oily and white fish, is also beneficial to the microbiota. The gut microbiota thrives when minimally processed plant foods are consumed, protecting against or reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, metabolic disease, and obesity.
