Monsoon in India has finally arrived to provide a respite from the scorching heat. But monsoon rains also bring an increased risk of various allergies, digestive problems and water-borne diseases. Also, the food gets easily infested by harmful viruses and bacteria which on reaching inside the human body can cause various disease like, indigestion, diarrhoea and jaundice.
Poor sanitation is a major factor that can cause diseases like typhoid. Unhygienic street food, cooked in low quality oil and drinking contaminated water can increase stomach-related problems. Cholera, diarrhoea are the most common diseases in this season which come with symptoms like chills, muscle pain, fever, headache, nausea, weakness, and others. The unhygienic and contaminated food can harm your liver and cause jaundice. Gastro-intestinal infections, gastroenteritis, and vomiting are some of the other common problems.
The human gut microbiota (GM) is also a complex, dynamic, and spatially heterogeneous ecosystem inhabited by a myriad of microorganisms interacting with each other and with the human host, including bacteria, fungi, archaea, and viruses. The gut microbiome has implicated a host of chronic diseases ranging from gastrointestinal inflammatory and metabolic diseases to neurological, cardiovascular, respiratory illnesses, and even cancers.
