So far we have learned a lot of interesting things, but what has stood out to me the most as been the impact of gut microbiome on our health. It was really cool to learn about different types and some that have positive or negative effects on your body. I think we gave focused a lot on the gut since the microbial community is so large and overall has a huge affect on our body on things such as good health and also the cause to different diseases. Then we can go into things that can improve your microbial communities which are things like probiotics or antibiotics. There are everyday things we do that change our microbes and community which I had never really thought about too much other than thinks like eating good promoted a better health.
What I found from my previous free-write to be interesting was the different types of microbiota that can influence our gut in positive and negative ways. This reminds me of one of the articles we read about finding a way to possible remove all the negative microbes and keeping the ones that can benefit us. I could also talk about the ways that we can purposely change our get communities by diets as well as different supplements, whether this be positive or negative.
In order to prep for my final paper, I think I want to go back through some of the past articles we read to get a better understanding on the topics that interest me. I could also do a longer free write by myself to get more ideas in the open so I might think of something else later that I really want to talk about or a different topic all together that is more interesting to me.
