Study Notes
Nutrition and Microbiome Overview
- Vitamin C and B are essential vitamins with various functions in the body.
- Macro-minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium are needed in higher amounts for bone health and muscle function.
- Microminerals like iron and zinc are essential for blood building and thyroid function.
- Essential fatty acids, linoleic acid, and alpha linoleic acid are crucial for the body and cannot be produced internally.
- Eicosanoids, byproducts of essential fatty acids, perform critical functions in the body.
- Sources of essential fatty acids include fish oil, krill oil, and algae extracts.
- Gut microbiome consists of normal bacteria in different body locations, impacting various functions.
- Gut microbiota, such as Bacteroides and Firmicutes, play a crucial role in maintaining body balance.
- Diet impacts the gut microbiome, with refined foods leading to a proinflammatory state and fibers leading to an anti-inflammatory state.
- Dysbiosis refers to the dysregulation of the gut microbiome, leading to a proinflammatory outcome.
- Dysbiosis can occur due to a lack of essential nutrients for normal bacteria or the overgrowth of certain bacteria.
- Dysbiosis not only leads to a proinflammatory outcome but also impairs the production of useful nutrients by normal bacteria, creating a negative impact.
