Investigating the diverse bacteria that inhabit our bodies, including those found on discarded chewing gum, reveals fascinating insights into human health. Professor Ignacio López-Goni will explore the significance of these microorganisms, often referred to as our 'second brain.' Our human microbiota plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health by suppressing harmful pathogens, aiding digestion, and providing essential vitamins. However, it raises questions about our well-being: Is our microbiome always indicative of good health? How do prebiotics and probiotics affect us? Furthermore, the session will address the potential links between our microbiota and conditions such as allergies, obesity, Parkinson's disease, and even cancer. This engaging discussion will take you on a journey to understand how the tiny inhabitants of our body can have a profound impact on our health.
