Exercise and the Microbiome

It’s true! Even without changing your diet, endurance exercise (like riding a bike) changes the microbes in your gut. Diversity improves, and so do certain functions— bacteria produce more short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which help reduce inflammation and improve metabolism (among many other things). Finding movement that works for you is just one of the many ways we at Flora love to support your microbiome.
