Introduction

The microbiome is the collection of bacteria, fungi and viruses that live in or on our bodies. The human body is home to trillions of microorganisms — some good, some bad — that help maintain our health by digesting our food and producing substances like vitamins and nutrients.

The microbiome plays an important role in digestion and health.

The microbiome plays an important role in digestion and health. The gut microbiome is a collection of bacteria, fungi and viruses that live in or on our bodies--and it's the largest living organ in the human body.

The microbiome interacts with our genes to influence everything from weight gain to brain function to mood disorders like depression or anxiety. In fact, recent research shows that disruptions to your gut bacteria can affect how well you digest food--which means they may also have an impact on how much fiber you absorb from those foods!

Fiber is indigestible plant matter that helps regulate your digestive system.

Fiber is indigestible plant matter that helps regulate your digestive system. It's found in fruits, vegetables and whole grains and can help prevent constipation and other digestive issues. Fiber also helps you feel full longer so you eat less during the day--a key factor in weight loss or maintenance.

The best way to get enough fiber is by eating a wide variety of healthy foods such as whole grains (such as oats), legumes (like beans), fruits and vegetables every day. If this sounds like too much work for you right now, there are many foods on the market these days that contain added fiber: cereals with bran; breads made with whole wheat flour instead of white flour; pasta made from whole durum wheat instead of semolina flour (the latter contains more starch).

The microbiome produces substances called short-chain fatty acids when digesting fiber.

Short-chain fatty acids are produced by the microbiome when it digests fiber. Short-chain fatty acids are important for gut health, as they can help prevent constipation and reduce inflammation.

Short-chain fatty acids help improve gut health, prevent constipation and even reduce inflammation.

Fiber helps regulate the digestive system by making you feel fuller longer and helping you digest food better. In turn, this can help prevent constipation or diarrhea (if you're prone to either). It also cleanses your colon by sweeping away waste products so that they don't build up in your body over time--this can reduce inflammation in addition to improving overall health through better digestion!

Conclusion

We've only scratched the surface of what we know about the microbiome, but it's clear that our health depends on it. The good news is that you can help keep your gut healthy by eating more fiber-rich foods and getting plenty of exercise. And if you're not sure where to start? We have some tips for getting started on a new diet plan!
