Description
Microbes are our lifelong partners in sickness and in health. They are most important to us at the beginning of life and before its end. The authors present the latest essential scientific information about the human body's microbiome in an accessible manner. They refer to the microbiome as the fountain of youth. They detail not only the oral, skin, intestinal, and gastric microbiomes but also the microbiomes of the brain, lungs, urinary tract, and heart. Special attention is given to the vaginal microbiome and menopause, the musculoskeletal system, the immune system, and the circumstances that promote the development of cancer. They show that if we do not take care of our life-giving microbes, we are courting the onset of cardiovascular issues, heart diseases, flu, pneumonia, tumors, obesity, asthma, allergies, diabetes, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, intestinal inflammations, or behavioral and mental disorders.
