Relevance of the review<\/h3>\n

\u00dcberlingen, 06.04.2023 \u2013 In order to explore this topic, research teams from the Buchinger Wilhelmi Clinic (\u00dcberlingen, Germany), the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (Heidelberg, Germany), and the CNRS Hubert Curien Pluridisciplinary Institute (Strasbourg, France), led by Dr. Robin Mesnage, have published on the 06.04.2023 in Trends in Microbiology a review on\u00a0 the effects of fasting and nutritional strategies called \u201cRemodeling of the intestinal ecosystem during caloric restriction and fasting\u201d. For the first time, a review in a leading journal integrates what is known about the effects of long-term fasting on the gut microbiome as well as the morphological changes of the intestinal tissue.<\/p>\n

This review sheds light on the mechanisms underlying the observation of long-term fasting benefits made since decades in the Buchinger Wilhelmi fasting clinics.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”64px”][vc_single_image image=”65857″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” css_animation=”fadeIn” link=”https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.tim.2023.02.009″][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space]

The role of the gut microbiome<\/h3>\n

The collection of microorganisms inhabiting the human intestine, known as the gut microbiome, plays an important role in digestion, immunity, emotional well-being and overall health.\u00a0The food we eat has a large impact on gut microorganisms like thousands of scientific publications have shown. A balanced diet, rich in fiber and low in processed industrial foods, promotes a healthy microbiome, but we need more knowledge about the effects of the absence of food ingestion and processing during a fasting period.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1681199329764{margin-bottom: 30px !important;background-color: #ecebe5 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]\n
