How does the treatment of food from a commercial meal service provider for a week differ from other treatments for microbiome health?
This treatment is unique because it involves providing meals from a commercial service, which can offer a controlled and consistent diet to study its effects on the gut microbiome. Unlike other treatments that may focus on specific nutrients or supplements, this approach uses whole meals to potentially influence gut health, emphasizing the role of overall dietary patterns rather than individual components.13567
