It may be hard to believe, but we each carry about 2 pounds of living bacteria inside us. That might sound disturbing, but microbes are actually very helpful to us in many aspects of health and wellness. In this relatively new field of study there are still many unanswered questions, but one thing’s for sure - we can trust our gut to these “microbe managers." Join Yale Science Diplomats for a look at the exciting new research on how gut bacteria have changed with us over the eons, help us digest our food and even contribute to our mental health.
