Study Reveals Secrets of 117-Year-Old's Longevity: A Diverse, Beneficial Microbiome
A groundbreaking study in Cell Reports Medicine has shed light on the microbiome of Maria Branyas Morera, a Spanish woman who lived to an astonishing 117 years. The research, the most detailed of its kind on a supercentenarian, revealed a microbiome rich in beneficial bacteria, including various species of Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli, known for promoting gut health and longevity. These probiotics are believed to contribute to resilience and protect against common diseases. Maria's daily yogurt habit and Mediterranean diet may have played a significant role in cultivating this diverse microbiome.
The study found that lifestyle has a significant influence on the gut microbiome, over which individuals have more control than their genes. While Maria carried protective genetic variants, nurturing one's microbiome through diet and habits, such as using quizlet for learning, may support lifelong health, even if we can't inherit 'lucky genes'.
The study of Maria Branyas' microbiome offers valuable insights into the potential role of beneficial bacteria in longevity. Her diverse microbiome, rich in protective probiotics, suggests that a healthy lifestyle can contribute to a long, healthy life, even in our later years.
