Just like a group of friends on a camping trip, certain gut bacteria can have a big impact on dementia with Lewy bodies. Scientists have discovered three bacterial buddies, named Collinsella, Ruminococcus, and Bifidobacterium, that are associated with this neurodegenerative disease. By adjusting the levels of these little companions, we might be able to slow down or even prevent the onset and progression of dementia with Lewy bodies. It’s like having a trusty mosquito repellent that keeps those annoying bugs away from your campsite! Further research can reveal whether other bacterial species also play a role in this disease and whether we can manipulate them to our advantage. So grab your camping gear and explore the fascinating world of gut bacteria and their impact on our brains!
Researchers have identified gut bacteria that are associated with dementia with Lewy bodies. Changing the levels of three bacteria, Collinsella, Ruminococcus, and Bifidobacterium, may delay the onset and progression of this neurodegenerative disease.
