Scientists have discovered the fountain of youth, of sorts, and its gut bacteria. Older mice were given gut microbia transplants from younger mice and ended up seeing reserve aging affects that imrpoved every physical quality of of life for them, More research is for sure needed, but, perhapsn a day will come when grandpa will be given gut microbe bacteria from his grandkids to assure he stays looking 40 when he’s already 95.

Scientists have known for the past two decades that the metropolis home to trillions of bacteria in your belly — the gut microbiome — is also central to mental health, the immune system, and more.
One of the latest studies in gut health scrutinizes how our microbiome affects aging in mice, using a surprising transplant.
The research, published Monday in the journal Nature Aging, reveals that older mice who have received gut microbiota transplants from young mice show improved brain function and behavior. This mouse model offers powerful insight into how diet and what populates our stomachs affect what our brains look like in old age.
WHAT’S NEW — Researchers have found that when they transplant microbiota of young mice into the intestines of older mice, the older mice display improved cognitive function. This is the first study that shows the correlation between transplantation of a gut microbiome from a younger mouse into an older one with improved brain abilities in the older mice.
