step further, combining yoga with interior design. Yogis around the globe

You probably know that
fermented foods and prebiotics
encourage healthy bacteria in
your gut. But did you know that
exercise in your youth could do
the same? A new study has
found that exercising when you
are young can improve gut
bacteria across your lifetime.
The study showed that young
rats who exercised every day
developed more beneficial gut
flora than those who didn’t.
The young exercising rats
also had healthier guts than
the adults who exercised.
A healthy gut bacterium is
central to a strong immune
system and affects both your
physiology and psychology.14
