2. INTRODUCTION The brain and gut are in constant communication – a bidirectional relationship. This communication network involves neural, hormonal, and immunological pathways. This axis plays a crucial role in various aspects of health and behavior

3. The Gut Microbiota Trillions of microorganisms reside in our gut (bacteria, fungi, viruses). This diverse community is known as the gut microbiota . They play role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune system development

4. It May Affect Brain Health The gut microbiome may even benefit brain health in a number of ways. First,certain species of bacteria can help produce chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters. For example, serotonin is an antidepressant neurotransmitter that’s mostly made in the gut Second, the gut is physically connected to the brain through millions of nerves . Studies have shown that people with various psychological disorders have different species of bacteria in their guts, compared to healthy people. The gut microbiome may affect brain health

5. Effects of lifestyle factors on Gut Micro-biota composition

6. How Can You Improve Your Gut Microbiome ? Eat fermented foods: such as yogurt, contain healthy bacteria, mainly  Lactobacilli C an reduce the amount of d isease-causing species in the gut. Limit your intake of artificial sweeteners:   A rtificial sweeteners increase blood sugar by stimulating the growth of unhealthy bacteria like  Enterobacteriaceae . Take antibiotics only when necessary:  Antibiotics kill many bad and good bacteria in the gut microbiome Contributing to weight gain and antibiotic resistance. only take antibiotics when medically necessary
