Dr Michael Mosley has revealed the secret to living a long, healthy life may be to harbour the right viruses in your stomach. A recent study of centenarians (people who have lived to 100) in Japan and Sardinia, has uncovered remarkable findings which the health expert says you can implement in your own life.
Writing his column in the Daily Mail, Dr Mosley explained the findings of a recent study, published in the journal Nature Microbiology, from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University in the United States.
Analysing participants' stool samples, Dr Mosley says: "The scientists used these to analyse the participants' gut microbiomes — the community of trillions of microbes that live in our guts and have profound effects on our health — for clues to their longevity.
