Intestines are the largest organ in our body. The primary functions of small intestines are both mechanical and chemical digestion, and absorption of nutrients from food materials as well as water and electrolytes up to 90%. Large intestines are responsible for the absorption of water and electrolytes, production and also absorption of vitamins, and forming the feces while pushing it into the rectum. In addition to these functions, the gut takes place in various mechanisms with its secret weapon: bacterias.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_33 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-white ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" style=\"display: none;\"><label for=\"item\" aria-label=\"Table of Content\"><i class=\"ez-toc-glyphicon ez-toc-icon-toggle\"><\/i><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"item\"><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1'><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-2'><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/enbiosis.com\/staging\/microbiome-101-a-brief\/#World_of_Bacteria\" title=\"World of Bacteria\">World of Bacteria<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/enbiosis.com\/staging\/microbiome-101-a-brief\/#Factors_that_Affect_the_Microbiome\" title=\"Factors that Affect the Microbiome\">Factors that Affect the Microbiome<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/enbiosis.com\/staging\/microbiome-101-a-brief\/#Main_Function_of_Microbiome\" title=\"Main Function of Microbiome\">Main Function of Microbiome<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/enbiosis.com\/staging\/microbiome-101-a-brief\/#References\" title=\"References\">References<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"World_of_Bacteria\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">World of Bacteria<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The human body is home to a variety of microorganisms such as bacteria, archaea, viruses, and all of these living organisms that form the microbiota. The gut microbiome covers the whole gut microbiota with its entire genetic information and also the interactions between microbe-microbe and microbe-host that occur in the gut environment. In this environment, bacterias are the dominant organisms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Everywhere is surrounded by bacteria. They\u2019re in the air that we breathe, soil that we pass through, water that we drink, food that we consume, all of the things that we touch, the people around us, and lastly us\u2026 Our body is a home for bacteria and they have very important responsibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">According to studies, the number of human cells is 3.0\u00b71013 while the number of bacteria is 3.8\u00b71013. These bacterias reside in many parts of our body but most of them live in our gut. So, they promote the importance of the gut in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enbiosis.com\/what-is-precision-healthcare\/\">health<\/a> and disease. The gut has already been referred to as the second brain thanks to their work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The gut microbiome starts to form maybe even before we are born. A variety of factors are effective to shape the microbiome.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Factors_that_Affect_the_Microbiome\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Factors that Affect the Microbiome<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">-Genetics and epigenetics,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">-Mother\u2019s diet before and during pregnancy,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">-Antibiotic usage of the mother during pregnancy or while giving birth,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">-Type of delivery (vaginal birth, C-section),<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">-Feeding method (breastfeeding or formula feeding),<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">-Age,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">-Environmental factors,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">-Stress levels,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">-Diet,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">-Usage of pharmaceuticals and antibiotics,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">-Physical activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">While we can\u2019t have the power to change the first 6 factors, we\u2019re still able to shape our gut microbiome with remained subjects.
