Community Activities - 3 Nsrit.ca April Fools

Microbiomes, the diverse communities of microorganisms residing in and on the human body, have garnered significant attention in recent years due to their profound influence on health and disease. The human microbiome comprises trillions of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and archaea, residing primarily in the gut but also in other areas such as the skin, oral cavity, nsrit.ca and urogenital tract. Research elucidating the complexities of these microbial communities has revealed their intricate relationship with human physiology, immunology, and metabolism.

One of the most extensively studied aspects of the human microbiome is its role in digestive health and metabolism. Gut microbiota contributes to the breakdown of complex carbohydrates, production of short-chain fatty acids, and modulation of metabolic pathways.
