The gut microbiome changes with age, the balance of microbial populations shifting to cause more inflammation and a lesser production of beneficial metabolites. To what degree can forms of fasting and time restricted feeding improve the aged gut microbiome? The authors of this paper seem optimistic, but more data is needed. Particularly, I’d want to see data in calorie restricted or intermittently fasted old rodents in dire…
Time Restricted Feeding as a Tool to Modulate the Gut Microbiome
