Human Microbiome

I just read that in addition to their genome, humans also have a biome for all the microbes in their body. Is this good or bad?

Your microbiome is very necessary and can positively influence your health if your microbiome is healthy and in balance. Their genes make substances that appear to influence your vulnerability to many diseases. These include anxiety, depression, diabetes, heart disease, anxiety and several degenerative neurological diseases. The editor in Chief of the Harvard Health Letter, Anthony L. Komaroff, MD, recently released an article describing research with a group of mice who were “couch potatoes” and never exercised. When they received the microbiome of mice that ran on their exercise wheel regularly, the “couch-potato" mice started exercising, too. More tomorrow.
