Food components in our diet provide not only necessary nutrients to our body but also substrates for the microbial flora in our gastrointestinal tract, termed the gut microbiome/microflora. Thus, what we eat shapes the structure, composition, and function of the gut microbiome, which interacts with the gut epithelium and mucosal immune system and maintains intestinal homeostasis in a healthy state.
Below is an illustration on the differences between Asian & Western diets and its effect on gut microflora
