“A low-glycemic index Mediterranean diet and aerobic exercise corrects gut microbial imbalance in people with fatty liver disease. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, or NAFLD, is a syndrome that encompasses multiple states of liver dysfunction, including steatosis (fatty liver), nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and cirrhosis.”

“Bacteriophages (often referred to simply as "phages") are viruses that infect bacteria. They are abundant in the human gut and exert disparate effects on human health, as seen in their potential roles in resolving bacterial infections and in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease.”

“Findings from a new study demonstrate that altering the gut microbial population may alter the aging process of the human brain. The authors of the study transplanted gut microbiota samples from healthy young or old mice into young germ­-free mice.”

“Supplementation with omega-3 PUFAs was associated with increased abundance of butyrate-producing ‘beneficial’, bacterial genera such as Bifidobacterium, Lachnospira, Roseburia, and Lactobacillus. An increase in SCFA-producing bacteria such as Bifidobacterium has been shown to reduce mucosal inflammatory tone in the gut.”

“The mechanism by which having a young microbiome increases lifespan is unclear but may have to do with reprogramming the immune system since gut bacteria are a major regulator of the immune system.”

“A new study in 300 infants found a greater diversity in gut bacteria is associated with reduced negative emotions and fear reactivity in infants. Additionally, greater quantities of lactic-acid producing gut bacteria are associated with positive emotions in infants.”

“00:19:30 - Profound changes in gut microbiome occur with intermittent fasting. Study. 00:20:33 - Minocycline, a type of antibiotic, relieved symptoms of multiple sclerosis due to alterations in gut microbiome.”

“Conversely, mice lacking gut microbiota have impaired nonshivering thermogenesis and decreased insulin sensitivity. Translational studies are needed to evaluate the impact of the gut microbiome on the activation of nonshivering thermogenesis in humans.”

“Gut bacteria use flavonoids (found in fruits, teas, etc.) to control the immune response and protect against severe damage from the influenza virus (in mice). The specific human-associated gut microbe that protected against the influenza virus is called Clostridium orbiscindens.”

“Months later their brains had many alpha-synuclein aggregates in their brains that negatively affected their motor function. Additionally, gut bacteria have been shown to be significantly different between healthy people and individuals with Parkinson's disease.”
