Abstract

The human microbiome, including bacteria, archaea, viruses, and eukaryotes, impacts human physiology and health by enhancing or impairing metabolic and immune functions. These organisms colonize various sites in the body, adapting to specific niches. The microbial community's diversity accounts for specific metabolic activities and functions. Understanding the microbial composition and activities of the human microbiome is crucial for understanding its impact on health and disease. Recent research has revealed the microbiome's influence on various diseases, including cardio-metabolic diseases, allergies, obesities, and life-threatening ones like cancer. Recent studies have uncovered the impact of microbiome on both human cognition and physical well-being, as well as its involvement in several disease transitions, including cardio-metabolic disorders, allergies, obesity, and even life-threatening conditions like cancer. Although the precise mechanisms of many diseases remain unclear, research has shown that metabolites, nutrients, and microorganisms play a crucial role in certain physiological conditions. The primary objective of this chapter is to elucidate the correlation between the microbiome and human health, whether it be through a cooperative or conflicting method.
