Diet, exercise, and medication are just some of the factors that can influence the makeup of a person's gut, which means each individual's gut community is unique.
"Research has shown that people who have a lot of different microbes have better health, and a better diet, than those who don't have much bacterial diversity,"While we commonly think of diets in terms of their fundamentals, like greens and meats, a considerable amount of variation in our cultural and personal preferences come down to the way we add some zing to our meals.
During the trial, everyone stuck to the same general menu, which was designed to reflect the average American diet. Some participants were asked to add 0.5 grams of spices to their meals, while others were asked to add 3.3 grams or 6.6 grams. The new findings support recent research that suggests herbs and spices are a natural prebiotic that feeds healthy bacteria in the human gut.found that a 5-gram capsule of a spice blend, containing cinnamon, oregano, ginger, black pepper, and cayenne pepper, triggered changes to the gut microbiome that were seen within weeks.
Those participants who ate spices in the study also showed lower numbers of proinflammatory molecules in the gut, indicating a possible anti-inflammatory effect.
