Abstract

The gut microbiome is essential for human health throughout life, with dietary choices affecting its composition and function at various stages. Dietary influences shape microbial diversity, metabolism, immune response, and cognitive function from early development to adulthood. This article examines how dietary exposures from fetal development to adulthood affect the gut microbiome and, consequently, impact health, disease susceptibility, and overall well-being. By investigating the connection between diet and microbial diversity, this communication seeks to emphasize potential dietary interventions for personalized health approaches, disease prevention and improvement of life quality throughout the lifespan.
