A community-based cohort study in Germany suggested that the composition of the gut microbiome might explain the cross-sectional association of habitual flavonoid and flavonoid-rich food intake with blood pressure (BP). The study included 904 participants, and 16S ribosomal RNA was sequenced for the gut microbiome composition. Higher total flavonoid intakes […]
A study in Europe supports the feasibility of improving the habitual diet to modulate the gut microbiota and potentially to promote healthier ageing. The gut microbiota were profiled in 612 non-frail or pre-frail elderly subjects across five European countries before and after the administration of a 12-month Mediterranean diet intervention. […]
