The significance of microbiota for overall health

There are trillions of microorganisms coexisting in the human body, far more than the number of cells in the human body. These tiny living organisms are indispensable for our health. Now, with the deepening of research technology and dimensions, scientists have found that microorganisms can provide a new paradigm for the prevention and treatment of a series of diseases, including schizophrenia, autism, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and so on.

In 2015, research on gut microbiota was particularly hot. Many studies have confirmed that intestinal microbes are associated with various chronic inflammatory diseases, including ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and even with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
