TheDude @ LCS Postat Februarie 21 Postat Februarie 21 Did You Know That There Is More Bacterial Life in Your Body Than Human Cells? For many years, scientists believed bacterial cells outnumbered human cells by 10 to 1. Modern research suggests the ratio is closer to 1:1 — but that still means roughly half of the cells in your body are not technically “you.” Most of these microorganisms live in your gut and form what is known as the microbiome. They help digest food, regulate your immune system, influence brain chemistry, and even affect mood and behavior. What makes this truly unique is that your microbiome is so personalized that it can act like a biological fingerprint. Identical twins can have significantly different microbial communities depending on diet, environment, and lifestyle. In a way, humans are more like walking ecosystems than single organisms. SOURCE
