Our body is home to many tiny living things called microbes. You cannot see these microbes without a special tool like a microscope. Together, all these tiny helpers form something called the human microbiome. Most of these microbes are very good for us. They act like helpful friends, working hard to keep us healthy. This text will explain what the human microbiome is. You will learn where these tiny helpers live inside and on your body, especially focusing on the large community in your gut. We will discover how they help your body digest food, make important vitamins, and even train your immune system to fight sickness. We will also explore how daily things like your food and environment affect these microbes. Finally, you will find simple ways to take care of your microbes so they can keep taking care of you.
