What is the gut microbiome and why is it important?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem of microorganisms that inhabit the human gastrointestinal tract. It includes billions of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes that play important roles in digestion, immune defense, and even the functioning of the nervous system.<\/p>\n

The state of the microbiome affects:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • nutrient absorption<\/li>\n
  • immune system function<\/li>\n
  • mental health and stress levels<\/li>\n
  • metabolism and weight<\/li>\n
  • skin condition and energy level<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    An unbalanced microbiome can cause health problems such as irritable bowel syndrome, inflammation, allergic reactions, and even depression.<\/p>\n

    Functions of the gut microbiome<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    1. Improving digestion<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Beneficial bacteria help break down food, synthesize enzymes, and promote the absorption of nutrients such as vitamins B12 and K.<\/p>\n

    2. Immunity support<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    About 701,000 immune cells are located in the gut. Beneficial microorganisms help fight pathogens and prevent inflammation.<\/p>\n

    3. Production of neurotransmitters<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    The microbiome affects levels of serotonin, the happiness hormone. An imbalance of bacteria can cause increased anxiety and depression.<\/p>\n

    4. Metabolic regulation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Intestinal microorganisms participate in metabolic processes, affect blood sugar levels and weight.<\/p>\n

    5. Protection against inflammation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Some bacteria produce short-chain fatty acids that reduce inflammation and support the health of the intestinal wall.<\/p>\n

    What disrupts the balance of the microbiome?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Negative factors that can affect the composition of microflora:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Improper nutrition<\/strong> \u2013 excessive consumption of sugar, processed foods, alcohol<\/li>\n
    • Antibiotics<\/strong> \u2013 destroys not only harmful but also beneficial bacteria<\/li>\n
    • Chronic stress<\/strong> \u2013 affects the relationship between the brain and the gut<\/li>\n
    • Insufficient fiber intake<\/strong> \u2013 fiber is food for beneficial bacteria<\/li>\n
    • Lack of sleep<\/strong> \u2013 affects the regulation of microflora<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      How to check the state of the microbiome?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      Laboratory tests are used to assess the state of the intestinal microflora, which help determine the balance between beneficial and pathogenic bacteria.<\/p>\n

      Basic tests for assessing the gut microbiome<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
      Analysis method<\/strong><\/td>\nWhat determines<\/strong><\/td>\nWho is recommended?<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
      Stool analysis for dysbacteriosis<\/strong><\/td>\nDetermines the level of beneficial and pathogenic bacteria<\/td>\nPeople with digestive problems, allergies, frequent infections<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      Metagenomic analysis (NGS diagnostics)<\/strong><\/td>\nAllows for detailed assessment of the entire spectrum of microorganisms<\/td>\nPatients with chronic gastrointestinal diseases<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      Analysis for short-chain fatty acids<\/strong><\/td>\nDetermines the level of metabolic products of bacteria<\/td>\nPeople with inflammatory bowel disease<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      Intestinal wall permeability test<\/strong><\/td>\nDetects "leaky gut syndrome"\u00ab<\/td>\nPatients with autoimmune or allergic diseases<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

      How to maintain a healthy microbiome?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      A healthy lifestyle and balanced diet can significantly improve the condition of the intestinal microflora.<\/p>\n

      1. Include probiotics in your diet<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Beneficial bacteria are found in fermented foods:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • kefir<\/li>\n
      • yogurt<\/li>\n
      • sauerkraut<\/li>\n
      • miso, tempeh<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        2. Take prebiotics<\/strong><\/h3>\n

        These are substances that feed beneficial bacteria:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • onion, garlic<\/li>\n
        • bananas<\/li>\n
        • asparagus<\/li>\n
        • oatmeal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          3. Avoid excess sugar and processed foods<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          Sugar and trans fats promote the growth of harmful bacteria and fungi (Candida).<\/p>\n

          4. Control your stress levels<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          Stress negatively affects the balance of microflora, so it is worth practicing meditation, physical activity, and healthy sleep.<\/p>\n

          5. Eat enough fiber<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          Fiber promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria and normalizes digestion.<\/p>\n

          Where can I get a gut microbiome test done?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

          In the laboratory Medilab Plus<\/strong> You can undergo comprehensive testing of your intestinal microflora and receive professional recommendations for improving your health.<\/p>\n

          Advantages of testing at Medilab Plus<\/strong><\/h3>\n
            \n
          • Using modern diagnostic methods<\/li>\n
