🤸♂️ Exercise can change your gut microbiome 🚴
A new study of middle-aged adults in Canada (just regular people—not athletes) found that exercising 150+ minutes per week had a positive effect on the gut microbiome.
Most people focus on foods to support a healthy gut. This study shows that exercise works too 🙌
What’s even more exciting is that a healthier gut microbiome could translate into better:
✔️ Skin
✔️ Mood
✔️ Digestion
✔️ Metabolism
✔️ Brain Health
✔️ Immune Function
✔️ And Overall Health
This study showed that the gut microbiome responded more to a longer duration of exercise, whereas the exercise intensity didn’t matter.
