The first behavior I can think about is taking antibiotic. I think it is not a good behavior because antibiotic might kill good and bad gut microbiome at the same time.

Second behavior is consuming more fiber in diet. Fiber in the diet can help to clean the waste in the gut as it is not soluble in water. It can help to create a better gut inner environment. Also, fiber can promote the growth of probiotics, as it is the food of probiotics.

Third behavior is breast feeding, which is related with babies’ gut health. Breast feeding is encouraged since mothers can transfer beneficial microbes to their babies through their milk. It could help babies to set up their gut environment more quickly.

1)In the primary research paper “Symbiotic gut microbes modulate human metabolic phenotypes” (2007), Min et al used a “transgenomic” approach to link gut microme and metabolic phenotype variation.

2)Min et al collected fecal and urinary samples from Chinese and American families, and established an model of the microbial-host metabolic connectivities by using the analysing results.

3)The purpose of this paper was to understand how microbes influenced their hosts.

4)This study is helpful in the development of functional metagenomic and provide solutions to personal and public health care.

Studies show that microorganisms may contribute to some forms of cancer. For example, H. pylori infection are strongly linked to gastric adenocarcinoma. I found a list about some certain microbes and the site of cancer.
