Just read in the NY Times about interesting research on gut microbiome and exercise. The following caught my interest:
“In particular, they noted widespread increases in certain microbes that can help to produce substances called short-chain fatty acids. These fatty acids are believed to aid in reducing inflammation in the gut and the rest of the body. They also work to fight insulin resistance, a precursor to diabetes, and otherwise bolster our metabolisms.”
Quite interesting, worth keeping an eye on and hopefully there will be larger studies done
