Ayurveda and the Microbiome Robert Keith Wallace, Ph.D.

In Ayurveda, food is regarded as medicine, and the key to ideal health lies in a balanced state of the gut. The term microbiome
describes the microorganisms that reside in us, as well as the genes they contain. Most of these microorganisms are located in our gut.
Recent research has revealed that a poor diet can disrupt the microbiome and harm the gut lining, causing a toxic inflammatory state,
which ultimately leads to disorders from heart disease to Alzheimer’s. Ayurveda offers practical procedures to restore the integrity
of the gut and reestablish balance in our mind and body. As a result of research on the microbiome, many of the most important
concepts in Ayurveda can now be understood scientifically.
