The diversity of your gut microbiota: a key indicator of your health

What is microbiota diversity?

Diversity refers to the number of bacterial species present in your gut. These species may or may not be active. Significant bacterial diversity is often associated with the proper functioning of the body and helps to keep you healthy. Microbiota diversity helps to improve the immune system and ward off pathogens.

Why test your microbiota diversity?

According to Stanislav Dusko Ehrlich, Professor Emeritus of Microbiology at INRA, low gut microbiota diversity poses a threat to health:

Recent scientific studies agree that there has been a loss of biodiversity in the gut microbiome in industrialized countries, which also threatens those countries that are in the process of becoming industrialized.

In healthy individuals, it is associated with the risk of developing serious chronic diseases, such as diabetes, liver disease, cardiovascular disease, and even certain types of cancer. But also asthma, allergies, chronic inflammatory bowel disease, autism, and other mental disorders.

Analysis of the gut microbiota to highlight its diversity.

Nahibu‘s microbiota analysis highlights the loss of diversity, which is the first essential step in combating it, preferably through appropriate nutrition for those at risk.

It thus lays the foundation for counteracting this largely unknown scourge that threatens us all. Nahibu’s gut microbiota analysis highlights each individual’s strengths and weaknesses, enabling them to take positive action through dietary advice.

By adapting your diet to the uniqueness of your microbiota and your needs, you can significantly improve certain digestive disorders, regulate your weight, prevent certain diseases, and strengthen your immune system.
