Brainstorm a list of behaviors that an individual could engage in that could cause changes to their gut microbial community. Pick 3 specific behaviors from your list. For each, discuss how that behavior could change the microbial community and the potential health impacts (beneficial, detrimental, neutral) that could result for the individual\u2019s health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
List of behaviors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
–take probiotics<\/strong>: Probiotics are full of good bacteria that help keep your body healthy. The good bacteria can do several things, such as fighting off bad bacteria and improving food digestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n –take antibiotics<\/strong>: Taking antibiotics can drastically change the amount, and kinds, of bacteria in the gut. These changes can be detrimental, for example, by causing diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. On the other hand, antibiotics can be beneficial for the gut biome by removing harmful bacteria from the gut, such as H. pylori<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n -diet<\/p>\n\n\n\n -exercising<\/p>\n\n\n\n -sleeping well<\/p>\n\n\n\n –stress<\/strong>: Stress can affect the gut bacteria through stress hormones, inflammation, and fight or flight responses. In response, the gut bacteria can reslease harmful toxins that can change eating behavior and even mood. This is detrimental to our health because if you are stressful, the immune system is altered. If you are not eating due to toxins that gut microbiota are releasing, this will only serve to reduce overall heatlh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Brainstorm a list of behaviors that an individual could engage in that could cause changes to their gut microbial community.
