New research shows there is a correlation between the gut microbiome and exercise, both moderate and intense exercise, according to Vijaya Surampudi, MD, Clinical Chief of the UCLA Center of Human Nutrition, (source: UCLAhealth.org).

Exercise, can modify gut microbiota by its positive impact on energy homeostasis where the cells in our body regulate energy and food intake.

Denise Alvey, RDN, a registered dietitian with UCLA Health Sports Performance powered by Exos, said that “exercise allows for more oxygen to reach the brain and bloodstream,” which is a healthy environment for good bacteria to flourish. Alley adds that good exercise and a healthy diet complement each other in ways the allow our gut flora to flourish.
