Gesund mit Darm. Fitter, gelassener und jünger mit dem richtigen Mikrobiom

The gut as the key to a long and healthy lifeWhoever wants to feel fit, healthy and young at any age cannot avoid the digestive tract. A healthy microbiome is important for our overall health. A diverse gut flora lowers our blood pressure, keeps blood vessels elastic and ensures that medications work optimally. Gut bacteria can measurably improve the performance of athletes as well as protect seniors from frailty. They regulate our metabolism, strengthen the immune system, reduce the risk of diabetes and obesity, keep cholesterol levels in check and even support cancer therapy. And the nervous system also benefits: When treating Parkinson's, Alzheimer's or depression, one should always consider the intestinal bacteria.Germany's intestinal specialist Prof. Dr. Michaela Axt-Gadermann clarifies here everything one needs to know about the connection between intestinal health and a long, healthy life. She gives a broad overview of an intestine-healthy diet, suitable probiotic bacteria and necessary laboratory tests.
