If there were a Netflix series following a group of microscopic creatures on their quest to take over the world by infiltrating and influencing the thought, feel and function of the alpha species… Even the BIGGEST Sci-Fi geeks may say…. “A little to far-fetched for me”.
And that’s a totally fair and rational answer… Only thing is…..this Sci-Fi thriller is… kinda, sorta, true…..
I mean minus the “World Domination” ambitions (which cannot be confirmed or denied) we lay host to TRILLIONS of micro-organisms which call our body, inside and out, home.
And modern research has displayed that these microbes DO, in fact, influence key physiological and psychological factors in our every day life. Things such as Mood, Cognition, Physical Feel, Energy levels and even Cravings….
Which doesn’t make it surprising that they ALSO influence our risk and prevalence of modern day disease. One of the most common being Obesity.
Let’s see just how DEEP this connection may be…
