It looks like you shared part of an article or report about gut microbiome diversity in centenarians and its relation to healthy ageing. The main points I gather from what you provided are:
– Research from southeastern China found centenarians have a more diverse gut microbiome compared to younger adults.
– The gut microbiome is likened to a garden that thrives on diversity, with more “flowers” meaning more beneficial bacteria.
– Diversity in gut bacteria tends to decrease with age, but those who maintain it tend to live longer and healthier lives.
– Studies associate a diverse microbiome not just with longevity but with better overall health and resilience (frailty and recovery from illness).
– Individual gut microbiome “age” can be compared to population studies, though factors like diet, pollution, and lifestyle impact gut health.
– Certain foods, like olive oil and bluefish (rich in polyphenols and fatty acids), can boost gut bacteria diversity.
– Avoiding refined sugars and ultra-processed foods may help protect gut diversity.
– Genetics and individual variation mean microbiome health strategies should ideally be personalized.
– This is a developing field with ongoing research necessary for more tailored guidance.
