Could spending time in nature actually affect your microbiome? In this clip, the speaker explains the idea that exposure to natural environments, including soil, plants, and outdoor spaces, may increase our contact with diverse microorganisms. He connects this microbial exposure to the importance of maintaining a diverse gut microbiome. Our relationship with microbes is complex, and while environmental exposure can influence the microorganisms we encounter, claims that every trip to the beach or forest dramatically “replenishes” the gut microbiome are much stronger than the current evidence supports. Gut microbiome diversity is influenced by many factors, including diet, medications, lifestyle, and environment. The bigger takeaway: Spending time outdoors is good for many reasons, and a diverse microbiome matters. But you don’t need to believe that you’re inhaling billions of beneficial bacteria every time you visit the beach to benefit from getting outside.
