Trillions of tiny aliens have staked out a home both on and inside your body. But in most cases, their occupancy isn’t an invasion. Rather, these colonies play an essential role in helping keep your body healthy.
These microorganisms collectively make up an ecosystem known as the microbiome, and their well-being is intimately intertwined with our own. In the gut, microbes help regulate digestive health by processing essential vitamins and minerals and by fueling our metabolism.
Now, new Cornell research shows that biofortified foods – bred to have higher levels of micronutrients – can improve the overall composition and function of gut bacteria, which in turn provide health benefits for their host’s body. The paper, “Effects of Iron and Zinc Biofortified Foods on Gut Microbiota In Vivo (Gallus gallus): A Systematic Review,” published in the journal Nutrients on Jan. 9. ....
