The invisible world inside us
The human microbiome is a wonder of nature.
Trillions of microbes call our body home. They live in our gut and many other places throughout our body. They are involved in virtually every aspect of how we function and we are learning that they are essential to staying healthy. An unhealthy microbiome has been linked to many diseases from allergies to cancer and even mental health.
Most people out there have heard about probiotics and fermented foods, and chances are you’re trying to get more of them in your diet.
Drinking kombucha or eating yogurt, anyone?
Join Lawson Health Research Institute for our next Café Scientifique event, "The invisible world inside us: Exploring the human microbiome."
Hear from a panel of researchers who are unraveling the mysteries about the microbiome and using that knowledge to improve health and health care. They will also bust some myths and share the important facts when it comes to probiotics, prebiotics and the microbiome.
