Centenarians are able to live longer because of their unique gut bacteria
TOKYO – According to new research, centenarians have unique gut bacteria which allows them to live a long life. Scientists from Japan claim that this unique gut composition fuels bile acid, which protects against disease.
This discovery could lead yogurts and probiotic foods to increase longevity.
In a South West News Service statement, Professor Kenya Honda from Keio University said that an enrichment of a specific set of gut bacteria generates unique bile acid. They might inhibit pathogens’ growth.
