Your Hidden HitchHikers

For every cell in your body there are 9 bacteria cells hitching a ride.  You are more “them” than “you”. 

Your gut is home to 100 trillion microbes. Around 4000 different species carve out their own little niches in your intestines. If you unfolded all of your 1.5m colon and laid it flat, it would cover the surface area of a double bed. This is why your gut is the key to your health, both physical and mental. Look after your microbes and they’ll look after you!
