Today is #WorldMicrobiomeDay and this year's theme is #FeedYourMicrobes! Here at the Quadram Institute we are investigating how food and gut microbes interact to promote health. Our research aims to increase healthy lifespans by: 🦠 Identifying patterns in the gut microbiome associated with plant-based foods, including microbes that might give resilience to food-borne pathogens 🧠 Learning how plant-based foods and food-induced changes in the gut microbiome affect human health beyond the gut, including understanding the gut-liver and gut-brain axis 🍽️ Evaluating the efficacy of food and microbiome interventions in improving long-term health including through proof-of-concept human studies.

I recently attended an enriching virtual conference “Microbiome: Mastering the Market”, from June 25-27. I found the sessions incredibly insightful as someone deeply interested in the gut microbiome and gut-brain interaction. I learned how soil health relates to human health, the role of enzymes and probiotics, and how the gut-brain connection can lead to a healthier, longer life. The discussions also covered market trends, highlighting the growing understanding of how gut health impacts overall happiness and well-being. Additionally, there was valuable information on the benefits of fiber-bound polyphenols and their role in promoting gut health. And those were just a few of the many topics covered! It was an enriching three-day experience, and I'm eager to apply what I've learned and continue expanding my knowledge in this field ⭐. #naturallyinformed #microbiome

WEEKLY ARTICLE announcement 😎 We like to inspire you with a new weekly article about a relevant topic around health 👀 Written by Marilène Dortland, Master's student Food Technology Wageningen University and Project Lead at HFW our first topic is GUT HEALTH 🥬 The gut microbiome: A dynamic city! 🏙️ What exactly is the microbiome and what does it contribute to your health?    For a few years now, the gut microbiome has been under quite a bit of scrutiny and research. 📚 It is thought to affect your immune system, metabolic processes and even your brain and behavior. In addition, a healthy microbiome should also prevent the development of certain diseases such as Crohn's disease and diabetes. More on all of these later, but let's start with the question, “What exactly is the microbiome?❔ To explain the microbiome, we will use an example of a busy city. This city is not filled with people but with so-called microbes, which you could divide into bacteria, fungi and viruses. Your body has several of these cities, such as your skin and mouth, but we are going to talk about the gut.    In this city, each resident has their own job to do. Some help absorb nutrients while others help protect against substances we don't want in the city. Still others help train our immune system so they know when to jump in.   The development of our microbiome starts the moment we are born and continues to change throughout our lives. Factors that influence this include the diversity of our food and amount of plants in our diet, where we live, and things like stress 🥬🥗   Why keeping this system healthy is so important we will discuss next week! 👀   #health #plantbased #guthealth #sustainability

🌍 Happy World Microbiome Day! 🌱 Today, we celebrate the incredible community of microorganisms that live within and around us, playing a crucial role in our health and the environment. Microbiomes are found everywhere—from our gut and skin to the soil and oceans. They help digest food, boost our immune system, and even combat pollution. Over the month of June, we have covered how to select an appropriate probiotic, where to get prebiotics from, the synergistic effects of synbiotics, and what a postbiotic is and is not. We hope that this content has inspired you to become more in tune with how you can promote the health of your gut microbiome. More and more evidence points to how this is linked with various disease conditions. #WorldMicrobiomeDay #HealthyGut #SustainableLiving

Thank you NutrEvent for inviting me and other panelist. It has been a pleasure for me to engage with all of you and all participants. It was really a stimulating session and I enjoyed very much of the active discussions and excitement during the session. Following is link to human clinical studies that I presented during the session. 1. Study which investigate the effects of inulin-type fructans or in combination with 2’FL on gut microbiota profile and mood state parameters. Inulin-type fructans and 2’fucosyllactose alter both microbial composition and appear to alleviate stress-induced mood state in a working population compared to placebo (maltodextrin): the EFFICAD Trial, a randomized, controlled trial. https://lnkd.in/ejuatkYZ 2. Study which investigate the effect of prebiotic inulin-type fructans from chicory root on food decision making in overweight adults. Prebiotic diet changes neural correlates of food decision-making in overweight adults: a randomised controlled within-subject cross-over trial. https://lnkd.in/eynfR2CE

https://lnkd.in/ePEPtT3K Ultra processed foods form the majority of energy consumption within the UK and since their introduction, non-communicable diseases have increased… a coincidence? We aim to discuss this novel area of science and bring light to arguably the biggest factor that can impact our health, our diet.

💥 NEW BLOG💥 Most E. coli bacteria live peacefully in our intestines, aiding digestion and contributing to a healthy gut microbiome. Let’s look closer at these bacteria that get a bad rap but play a crucial role in our health. 📎 Read More Here: https://hubs.la/Q02lZp1z0 #FreshByte #FreshByteSoftware #EColi
