Diet, Probiotics and Physical Activity: The Right Allies for a Healthy Microbiota

Abstract

The intestinal microbiota, which has gained a foothold in the field of research, represents a significant factor for human health because of its ability to form relationships with the organism through the modulation of pathophysiological processes. Dysbiosis, which is caused by non-specific intestinal inflammation and leads to a condition of persistent low-grade inflammation, may be caused by poor eating habits and an unhealthy lifestyle, as well as psycho-physical stress and a sedentary lifestyle. Diet, prebiotics and probiotics, and moderate and aerobic exercise can, in order to increase well-being and reduce the chance of recurrence, all be deemed effective methods of improving gut-microbiota pretreatment or mitigating diseases or dysbiosis. This study shows the ways in which good living habits, correct nutrients, and constant aerobic activity in chronic and immune conditions, can modify gut microbiota and microbiome characteristics, as well as the relationship between intestinal function and human health.
