The gut microbiome – the ecosystem of microorganisms living in gastrointestinal tracts – is increasingly recognised as a key to many aspects of human health. During infancy and early childhood, sequential development of the gut microbiome underpins appropriate maturation of the immune system and healthy metabolism, and is linked to neurocognitive development. Nutrition is essential for the process of establishing a healthy gut microbiome, with the essential role of breastfeeding in early months and the important role of diet diversity in stimulating the maturation of a diverse gut microbiome.

The Nestlé Nutrition Institute is a not-for-profit association with the goal to advance the science of nutrition. Microbiome Academy can be found at: www.nestlenutrition-institute.org/nutrition-campus/microbiome-academy?utm_source=email&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=microbiome&utm_content=1
