Researchers are pinning great hopes on the microbiome. A healthy gut is said to counteract diseases of civilization from diabetes to depression, and thus make people a little healthier. But what do we really know about the effects of a healthy gut? Can we even have a lasting influence on the intestinal flora? How can probiotics and prebiotics in our diet contribute to a good microbiome? "Puls" explains. ????

Countless bacteria make up the microbiome. There are 100 trillion in our gut alone – more than the number of cells in our entire body. It is undisputed that this enormous bacterial collective must have an influence on our body and its well-being. But which one? ????Microbiome research - great hope, great concern Microbiome research is still in its early stages. However, it is suspected that a diverse microbiome not only has a positive influence on digestion, but also on the immune system, depression and obesity. Diabetes, intestinal inflammation and other diseases of civilization could also benefit from a healthy microbiome, the researchers hope. Expectations are so high that microbiomes from all over the world are being collected and archived in a kind of Noah's Ark. Because the modern western lifestyle does not have a good influence. ????Diet experiment - eating for a better microbiome Gabriela and Daniel want to do their microbiome good and to do so they eat a microbiome-friendly diet for two months. But what exactly does that mean? And: Can a change in diet really noticeably change the biodiversity of a microbiome? "Puls" accompanies the two during the experiment, listens in on the nutritional advice and has Daniel and Gabriela's microbiomes tested by the University of Bern before and after the experiment. ????
