Dysbiosis in gut microbiota, characterized by harmful microbial activities such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) supply and toxin production, is directly linked to the development of obesity, metabolic syndrome, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Prioritize dietary patterns that support a balanced gut microbiome to prevent dysbiosis, which is linked to obesity, IBD, and metabolic disorders. This involves consuming diverse fibers and fermented foods to maintain the balance between beneficial and harmful microbial activities, thereby reducing systemic inflammation and metabolic risk.

When a balanced interaction between the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and the resident microbiota is disrupted, intestinal and extraintestinal diseases may develop... such as allergy, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), obesity, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular dyslipidemia, and neuropathology
