Micronutrients & recovery
Chronic chicken meat intake and resistance training do not drastically alter gut microbiota composition in elderly women, contradicting hypotheses that such interventions significantly shift microbial diversity.
You do not need to worry about chicken meat or resistance training negatively impacting or drastically altering your gut microbiota in a harmful way. The study found no significant changes in gut bacteria diversity, suggesting these interventions are safe for gut health in this demographic.
GoodRefutesHIGH confidence
the gut microbiota composition did not change before or after the interventions in any of the four groups.
Why this rating
RCT design with rigorous microbiota analysis (16S rRNA sequencing).
