Session Outlines and Learning Objectives

About the session

The importance of the gut microbiota in human health is becoming ever more apparent and diet-based interventions provide a means of modulating the gut microbiota in a beneficial way. The consumption of fermented foods provides a means of bringing about such changes, but the benefits can vary from one food to another and from individual to individual. This presentation will cover the different ways in which the gut microbiota can be modulated through fermented foods and impact this may have on personalised nutrition. Also covered will be considerations into current personalised nutrition analysis methods including the role of gut microbiome testing.

Watch this session to:

GAIN CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF:

• What is meant by personalised nutrition and where the research is
• How an individual’s gut microbiota can contribute to health
• How the gut microbiota can be altered through diet, with a particular focus on fermented foods

BE AWARE OF:

• Different ways in which the gut microbiota can be modulated
• The overlap between the microbes in fermented foods and the gut
• The ways in which the health benefits of fermented foods can vary from one food to another, even among specific food types

BE ABLE TO:

• Understand how the gut microbiota is studied
• Differentiate between modulators that positively and negatively impact the gut microbiot
• Appreciate the health promoting properties of fermented foods
