The evidence of recent years derived from the study of the commensal microbes dwelling in the gastrointestinal tract makes it clear that the composition of this gut microbiome is influential on long term health, likely to a similar degree as exercise and diet. Further, the balance of microbial populations shifts with age in unfavorable ways. Inflammatory populations increase, contributing to the chronic inflammation of aging, while beneficial populations decrease, reducing the supply of metabolites necessary for normal tissue function.
