What is the microbiome? Kurzgesagt tells us about the friendly bacteria that live in our gut and what they do.
How our immune system is like an army defending our body. We will also see the connection between the brain and gut microbes. The microbes ‘telling’ our brain what food we should get them. Eat healthy, the gut breeds healthy bacteria that like healthy food. Eat unhealthy bacteria craves unhealthy food.
How we can become trapped in a vicious cycle and become obese. Discuss different studies of trying to harness the power of microbiome i.e transferring healthy bacteria to an unhealthy host.
