Gut Microbiome: A New Hope Against Alzheimer’s Disease
The gut microbiome and brain health: what the latest studies show New research is redefining how we view dementia risk. The trillions of microbes living in our gut are not just passive passengers; they actively influence immune function, inflammation, and even brain health. In particular, a disrupted gut microbiome has been linked to an elevated…
