Non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs) are a big cause of death worldwide. The mix of bacteria in our gut (intestinal microbiota) can change and play a role in NCDs.
A recent study published in the Journal ‘Foods’, titled “Evidence for the Beneficial Effects of Brazilian Native Fruits and Their By-Products on Human Intestinal Microbiota and Repercussions on Non-Communicable Chronic Diseases—A Review” looks at how certain fruits from Brazil and their parts affect gut bacteria and NCDs. These fruits have special properties that can improve gut health and might help fight NCDs.
