I won’t be first in line, but #Gut Health for #Longevity is very promising - the microbiome seems to be able to alter the expression of genes in their host; the bacteria in the gut can influence how much our own cells are making of certain proteins! In the older mice that received a transplant of the “youthful” microbiome, there were significant improvements in muscle strength and skin quality. Grip strength increased in the youthful-microbiome-receiving mice increased by approximately 30–50%, and their muscle fibers grew significantly thicker, as if the mice had bulked up! The skin grew thicker and retained more moisture, giving it a more youthful appearance. medium.com/a-microbiome-s..
