The Human Microbiome

Introduction: The next time you look in the mirror, think about this in many ways, you are a microbe. There are ten times more cells from microorganisms bacteria, viruses, fungi than human cells and our bodies and our genes are more than a hundred to one hundred times smaller. Scientists even have the name of all these tiny genes: The Human Microbiome.

This can make many people rush to hand sanitizer, but it turns out that most of these insects are not bad germs that will make us sick, most are good and without these good germs our bodies don't seem to do that. We do not look healthy and can actually get sick a lot. One question, then, is:

Where did our microbiomes come from in the first place? 

Like most things, it starts with our mother. As the baby passes through the birth canal, it is joined by a host of germs. These microbes can sow seeds with just the right mixture. Combined with germs and breast milk and other nutrients we encounter prematurely, they seem to begin to slow down in our first few years of life. The whole collection of our germs is personal, such as finger prints or perhaps blood type but our germs are often the same as our parents and siblings and can stay with us for the rest of our lives. They may also be doing all sorts of things, such as training our body cells, such as:

1. Teaching them the differences between the things they have to fight.

2. The bad bugs that can make us sick and the non-threatening things, like our good germs. 

As we get older, germs become our first defense, fighting the germs that try to invade our bodies, protecting their race while protecting our health. Scientists have discovered that they can even extract their own antibiotics. The types of germs in your body vary depending on where they live as do the different natural systems in the environment. There are wet areas like 1. our mouths

2. noses and armpits

3. oily areas like the scalp and

4. backs and dry areas like our arms. Different strains of bacteria have become commonplace in each of these areas. The large, most important habitat of the virus appears to be in the abdomen. They are the smallest complexities, the most diverse and all that we do everywhere in our bodies - fighting disease, regenerating and weakening our immune system, targeting cells - all of which happen in the intestines of the disease. They seem to help control the way we exercise, how hot we are and how much fat we store. So if it does not work well for some reason because of what we eat, the antibiotics we take, can lead to all sorts of diseases. Diseases such as colon cancer, colitis and possibly diabetes and obesity. Some scientists think that one of the main reasons for the increase in the number of infections is that we have lost some of our vital gut cells. Our microbiomes look very different compared to those of people in less developed countries and previous generations and we remember how we got our microbiomes from the beginning: from our mothers when we were born and from breast milk? Some scientists think that too many babies do not get that because of all the C section and not enough breastfeeding and all the antibiotics babies get these days and our love of hygiene, it increases with current pendemic situation.

 

Conclusion: All of this can help explain why problems such as asthma and allergies are on the rise. Probably because our microbiomes have never taught our immune system how to function properly. Perhaps swallowing good microbes, probiotics, can even prevent some diseases. It can be a matter of taking prebiotics, a staple food that favors good insects. We conclude our story with a reminder: this study is really new. We still have a lot to learn about what many of our viruses actually do but scientists say it is becoming clearer and clearer that the little things in the whole body are important to our health and happiness.
