All over the world, scientists explore just how the microbiome – the diversity of bacteria in and on the human body – benefits our health and defeats pathogens. What we already know is that some bacterial species on our skin or in our gut affect our health positively – whether it comes to skin diseases

“Eat five (portions of fruit and vegetables) a day”, “5 a day” or “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” – everyone of us is familiar with many sayings which admonish us to follow healthy diets. Most often, the argument brought forward is that fruit and vegetables are especially rich sources of vitamins. A

Chronic bowel diseases such as Crohn‘s disease or ulcerative colitis continue to rise. Speculations and explanations regarding the causes of these lifestyle diseases (also known as “environmental diseases”) abound. Scientists at Kiel University have recently put forward a new theory explaining the onset of such lifestyle diseases, referred to as the “overfeeding hypothesis”. According to

Health-conscious diets often rely on protein-rich food, such as meat and legumes (peas, beans, lentils, etc.). Scientists at the Department for Microbiology and Ecosystem Science of the University of Vienna and at the Duke University in North Carolina (USA) have recently examined the impact of a protein-rich diet on bacterial diversity in the gut. Their

In addition to lactobacilli, healthy guts also contain many bifidobacteria. These bacterial species both produce lactic acid, yet differ in the other effects they have. In South Korea, scientists recently discovered that the presence of bifidobacteria results in the increased production of anti-inflammatory immune cells in the gut wall. This may help prevent or keep

On this website, we regularly post about good, healthy bacteria which are vital for a healthy organism and a healthy body.

We all know that worries and stress can upset your stomach and gut. And in recent years, scientists have similarly demonstrated the reverse, i.e. that diets and intestinal health influence our psyche. However, people often forget the impact the gut has also, and above all, on our skin. The gut is an alimentary organ, plying

“Dry skin” and “itching” are among the most used search terms on the internet. What to do about dry skin? How can you relieve itching? Or even better: How can we avoid suffering from any of the two? Those who suffer from dry skin and itching may soon become sensitive in other ways. Constant itchiness

As soon as spring is in the air, many home making, women’s and beauty magazines overwhelm readers with advice on getting your skin bikini-ready for summer. You’re supposed to give your skin “a fresh, youthful” and “well cared-for, attractive” appearance, preserve its youthfulness and avoid premature ageing.

Could probiotic face care be the solution to all skin issues? The question was raised by the writer Eva Jost in a contribution to the website of InStyle, a beauty and fashion magazine.
