Watch this video... pause the video as needed and take notes (all the way to the end!). Record what you feel are the most facts or ideas described. You will be graded from 1 - 5 based on effort/completeness of your notes.
Most of the bacteria living on you or in you have evolved to keep you safe and help carry out many critical life functions
True
False
Which area of the human body hosts the most bacteria (95% of the total)?
skin
stomach
mouth
intestine
What is the main role of bacteria living in your gut (intestines)?
help digest food
boost immunity
create toxins
cause disease
What is the function of "good" bacteria in the oral (mouth) microbiome?
outcompete bacteria that cause cavities and gum disease
regulate body temperature
break down food particles
whiten teeth
Why is the bacteria on our skin important?
improve skin tone
provide a protective layer against disease-causing bacteria
increase perspiration
enhance nutrient absorption
Where does the initial "seeding" (beginning) of your microbiome come from?
the father
the mom's intestinal microbiome
the mom's skin microbiome
the mom's birth canal when you are born
How does your microbiome help "educate" your immune system?
the healthy bacteria of the microbiome shows your immune system what bacteria "belong" and what bacteria the immune system should destroy as invaders
a healthy immune system should destroy all bacteria in the body
The bacteria of our microbiome vary by where in or on the body they live - almost like they live in different ecosystems
True
False
The intestinal (gut) microbiome is even able to regulate our metabolism - how an individual digests their food and whether or that person gains weight easily or with difficulty.
True
False
A healthy gut microbiome has very little diversity (different types of bacteria) - it is better to have only one or a few types of bacteria in the gut.
True
False
What might explain the huge increase in diseases like food allergies, asthma and diseases of the gut like IBS or colitis? (select all that are correct)
too many caesarean sections (too few "natural" births)
too many cleaning products like hand sanitizer being used everywhere
too many antibiotics being taken unnecessarily
diets high in processed foods and/or lots of added sugar
What would be the easiest way to change the bacteria living in your gut?
