Is your physical strength impacted by your gut bacteria?
Final days to enrol in time for our live gut health Q&A on February 16th.
Can your gut bacteria really impact your physical strength?
Did you know the tiny microbes in your guts may contribute to your physical strength? Microbiologists have discovered new links between the composition of a person’s gut bacteria and the mass and density of their muscles and bones.
Tests on rodents showed that mice with diminished microbiomes tend to be weaker, and score lower in tests of grip strength and treadmill running endurance. Similarly mice fed antibiotics showed reduced muscle mass.
So how best to optimise your gut health and strength? Join our Gut Health course, explore the myriad ways to optimise your gut health.
Enrolling before the 16th of February means you'll gain exclusive access to this live online Q&A 'Managing your Microbiome', the first of its kind at New Scientist Academy. Only 6 days until this special event takes place. This online Q&A will be delivered by Professor Emma Allen-Vercoe, gut health expert.
Prof. Emma Allen-Vercoe's research focuses on the study of the normal human gut microbiota, both in disease and in health.
