For those who have not kept up on it, there are more | obscure studies recently done:which found that the gut microbiota | affect all sorts of things: from blood pressure to brain | functions that can then degenerate into 'mild' things (depression | for example) or more severe cases (symptoms akin to autism or | even worse).Somehow on a second thought one could argue these all | make sense, because these alter your hormonal balance, every | disease can possible appear.And it's cliche but it's true: we are | what we eat,if these microorganisms don't function properly, | you're at a disadvantage.(It's also one of the reasons nutrition | is so important when you talk about bodybuilding, or any other | activity/goal that needs to be reached through having a proper | hormonal balance) | | Even though it's not present here, I dislike the rhetoric that | seems to portray such organisms as "scary" distinct parts from | our bodies(especially when talked in the media).Without these | microbes we would have a lot of problems adapting to our | environment, if one could even exist without them. | umbula wrote: | ...in mice. | fortysixdegrees wrote: | Would love for an easier to follow explanation of this ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2022-02-26 23:00 UTC)
