writing exercise #3

There are a ton of different behaviors that can impact the microbial community…

  1. Vaginal vs Caesarean: When babies are born through the vagina, they are exposed to many microbes that are beneficial to them. Babies who are born through caesarean miss out on that. This isn’t something we control, but it is something that effects your microbial community very early on. Usually more beneficial than detrimental.
  2. Fermented Foods: Kombucha is one of the first ones that comes into my mind when I think about gut health. Many people associate this drink with creating a healthy gut environment. By drinking this, you are directly taking this and moving it into your gut. This could cause a beneficial impact in your gut.
  3. Ingesting Pre or Probiotics: this can promote bacteria activity to create a healthy environment. Promoting these healthy bacteria is beneficial impact on an individual’s health.
  4. Diet: depending on what you eat, that can cause the bad bacteria to grow and over power your healthy ones or vice versa. For your diet, it could really go anyway. Depending on what you eat and how much of it, it could cause a positive or negative outcome, or maybe even nothing at all.
