A diet including larger amounts of dietary fiber and prebiotics is necessary to promote a healthy microbiota. Prof. Raylene Reimer from the University of Calgary emphasizes that prevention of obesity and metabolic diseases needs to start early in the life span, as early as in pregnancy and infancy.

A healthy microbiota early in life is critical to prevent diseases later on, such as obesity.
To learn more about the factors influencing the microbiota, please listen to Prof. Reimer’s full recording here:
