You’re More Bacteria Than Human

Here’s a wild fact: for every human cell in your body, there are at least 1.3 bacterial cells.

That means you’re technically more bacteria than human.

These microbes live on your skin, in your mouth, and especially in your gut.

They’re not invaders—they’re essential partners in your survival.

Your gut alone hosts over 100 trillion bacteria.

They help digest food, produce vitamins, and even train your immune system.

Some scientists call it your 'second brain' because these microbes can influence your mood and behavior.

Feeling anxious?

Your gut bacteria might be part of the reason.

Not all bacteria are good, but the right balance is crucial.

Antibiotics, poor diet, and stress can wipe out beneficial microbes, leaving you vulnerable.

That’s why fermented foods like yogurt, kimchi, and kefir are more than trendy—they help repopulate your gut with

friendly bacteria.

So next time you think about who you are, remember: you’re a superorganism—a blend of human and microbial

life.

Your health depends on this partnership.
