The composition of the gut flora depends mainly on diet and lifestyle March 06, 2018 Source: Xinhuanet A new study published by the Weizmann Institute of Israel scientists in the new British journal Nature found that the composition of the human intestinal flora is mainly determined by diet and lifestyle, and the genetic factors have little effect. There are hundreds to thousands of bacteria in the human intestines, and the total number is 10 times more than the number of human cells. It plays an important role in metabolism, immunity, cardiovascular function, and may even affect mood and behavior. There are significant differences in the composition of the gut flora of different people. The scientific community previously thought that this was mainly determined by genetics, but new research showed that the difference caused by genetic factors only accounted for 2%. The team analyzed data on the genome and gut microbiota of about 1,000 Israelis, as well as their diet, lifestyle and drug use. These people come from 7 different ethnic groups and have similar living conditions. The results showed that people with no blood relationship but living under the same eaves had a highly similar composition of gut flora. The analysis also found that taking into account the composition of the intestinal flora when predicting blood glucose levels, obesity and other indicators can greatly improve the accuracy of prediction, which is better than the model that only considers genetic and environmental factors. This new finding means that by adjusting the gut flora to treat disease and improve health indicators, a set of methods will apply to the entire population with the same environment and lifestyle, without having to formulate a separate plan based on the individual's genome.
