When it comes to questions about health and longevity, many researchers turn to the gut microbiome — the community of microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and fungi that live in the human gut — for answers. Scientists are just beginning to understand how the microbiome affects our health in many ways, but early evidence suggests it may play a role in disease outcomes such as some types of cancer, long Covid and Parkinson's disease. Of particular interest is determining which foods are beneficial for the microbiome and ultimately for various aspects of one's health.
