Fun facts about human Microbiome

Did you know that you are not alone? No, I'm not talking about ghosts or aliens. I'm talking about the trillions of microscopic organisms that live on and inside your body. These are called the human microbiome, and they play a vital role in your health and well-being.

The human microbiome consists of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other tiny creatures that coexist with us in a complex and dynamic relationship. Some of them help us digest food, produce vitamins, fight infections, and regulate our immune system. Others can cause diseases, allergies, or inflammation if they grow out of balance or invade the wrong places.

The human microbiome is so diverse and abundant that it can be considered as an organ of its own. In fact, it contains more cells than our own body, and more genes than our own genome. It also varies from person to person, depending on factors such as genetics, diet, lifestyle, environment, and even mood.

Here are some fun facts about the human microbiome that you may not know:

- The human microbiome weighs about 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs), which is equivalent to the weight of a human brain.

- The human microbiome contains about 100 trillion microbes, which is more than the number of stars in the Milky Way galaxy.

- The human microbiome has about 3 million genes, which is 150 times more than the human genome.

- The human microbiome can influence our behavior, mood, personality, and even our preferences for food and partners.

- The human microbiome can change rapidly in response to stress, illness, medication, diet, or travel.

As you can see, the human microbiome is a fascinating and important part of our biology. But how much do we really know about it? How can we measure it and understand its impact on our health and wellness?

That's where mapmybiome comes in. Mapmybiome is a service that allows you to analyze your microbiome using a simple and painless sample collection kit. You just need to swab your mouth, nose, skin, or gut (yes, that means poop) and send it back to us at Mapmygenome. Wait, I forgot to mention that if you are in India, we pick it up for you. We will then use advanced DNA sequencing technology to identify and quantify the microbes in your sample. You will receive a detailed report with insights into your microbial diversity, composition, function, and disease risk etc with others.

With mapmybiome, you can discover your unique microbial fingerprint and learn how to improve your health and well-being by optimizing your microbiome.

So what are you waiting for? Order your mapmybiome kit today and start exploring the hidden world inside you!
