The Importance of a Healthy Diet on Gut Microbes
31:09 - 38:16 (07:07)
This podcast discusses an experiment conducted on mice where they were fed a normal and healthy diet and then switched to a low-fiber, high-fat diet to observe the effects on their gut microbiota. The study showed that the mice were negatively affected, but there was a possibility of a return to the previously healthy state with a balanced diet.
