Science says: More than half of your body is not human!

Recent research shows that real human cells represent only 43% of our bodies.

Believe it when the research published on the BBC recently showed that more than half of your body is not human!

Accordingly, scientists on genetics claim that true human cells represent only 43% of our bodies, the remaining 57% belong to "survivors" - microorganisms.

Specifically, Professor Ruth Ley - Director of Micro Sciences at the prestigious research institute Max Planck (Germany) shared: "Knowing, understanding the microorganisms that make up our body is very important in decoding health, finding disease ".

More than half of your body is not human!

And no matter how much you scrub and clean your body, almost anywhere on your body is covered by these tiny creatures. It could be bacteria, viruses, fungi . and a group of microscopic organisms called archaea - all of them live parasites, creeping all over your body, affecting the mechanism of pathogenesis.

Professor Rob Knight of the University of California San Diego told the BBC that the human genome is made up of about 20,000 genes, while up to 20 million microbiological genes exist in our bodies.

Professor Sarkis Mazmanian, a microbiologist at Caltech, California Institute of Technology, said: "We have not only one genome, the genes of our microorganisms are now thought to be". the second genome (second genome) ".

The genes of our microorganisms are now thought to be the second genome.

It will be naive if you think that we only carry bacteria on us but they do not have any interaction or influence on our bodies.

And science is quickly finding the role of that microorganism in the digestive system, regulating the immune system, protecting the body against disease.

Professor Knight said: "We are looking for ways for these tiny organisms to completely transform our health in a way that we have never imagined but to benefit us."

Or to put it simply, it is a new way of looking at the microbiological world. So far, our relationship with bacteria is largely war.

We have succeeded in fighting many dangerous diseases like smallpox with medicine, or immunotherapy. But this also means that the future will create new diseases, which are less dangerous but also need to be solved.

Controlling the body's bacterial flora is the key to resolving the disease that is now considered incurable.

According to Professor Ruth Ley, the current wave of autoimmune and allergic diseases shows a widespread change in the microbiota in the human body.

Even obesity, bacteria play a big role. Professor Knight said, if you implant an obese person's bacterium into another living organism like a lab rat, we will see it gain weight quickly even if you don't eat it immeasurably.

This proves that, understanding and controlling the microbial flora in the body is the key to resolving the disease that is now considered incurable. It is a safer way if you try to "smash" yourself and suffer from its side effects.

Scientists hope, making friends with the microbiological world, fixing something in the microbiota of each person can open new avenues to treat difficult diseases later on.
