Bad habits make the gut age early

The gut also has age, and as long as the gut is young, it is easier for people to live longer and healthier. As we age, the intestinal flora changes. For example, bifidobacteria, which have beneficial bacteria in the gut, gradually decrease by the time most people are teenagers; In youth, the proportion of bifidobacteria gradually decreases from 10% to about 0%, and the intestine begins to age; After entering middle and old age, the number of beneficial bacteria such as bifidobacteria further decreases.

Therefore, the number of bifidobacteria is often used to determine the age of the intestine, as well as the physical condition of a person.
