Probiotics vs Prebiotics – What’s The Deal With My Microbiome
The human microbiome refers to all the microorganisms that live in or on humans. These include the likes of single-celled organisms, fungi, non-living viruses, and most prominently, bacteria. In fact, we have more bacterial cells in our bodies than human cells, with estimates of the ratio ranging from 3:1 to as much as 10:1. Our microbiomes are extremely important to our overall health, providing us with abilities our human cells cannot, such as digesting certain foods, or fighting off harmful bacteria.
