Intake of certain plant-based foods rich in various active ingredients (especially nondigestible carbohydrates, certain types of fats, and polyphenols) can modulate the microbiota and, thereby, improve the health status of the population.
The general objective of this project is twofold:
On the one hand, identify the “healthy” pattern (s) of the microbiome (or eubiosis) as opposed to dysbiosis
Secondly, to evaluate the effect of foods that are part of the habitual diet of the Mediterranean countries, or ingredients present in them, on said microbiome.
“This project has been funded by the Government of Navarra through the call for Aid for carrying out strategic R&D projects 2018-2020 “
