Bakterie v našich střevech ovlivňují naši náladu, imunitu, rychlost stárnutí i to, jestli máme chuť na 🍫 nebo 🥕🥦. Jak „druhý mozek“ funguje a co mu prospívá, zkoumá Martin Schwarzer @schwarzergnoto.bsky.social z MBÚ @akademievedcr.bsky.social @gnotobiology.bsky.social ➡️ forbes.cz/mikrobiom-ri...

Mikrobiom řídí vše. Co udělat, aby lépe fungoval? Strčte ruce do hlíny, říká vědec

Říká se mu druhý mozek. Mikrobiom ovlivňuje v našem těle všechno. Co mu prospívá a jak souvisí i s dlouhověkostí, vysvětluje v rozhovoru laureát Ceny Neuron Martin Schwarzer.
