Gut microbiome: the hidden world inside us

The gut microbiome consists of 400-500 different types of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses and yeasts) whose composition is as unique as a fingerprint. The composition is partly in your control, especially through what you eat and have a big impact on how you feel. They also keep your intestinal wall healthy and have a great influence on your immune system. How you can have a positive influence on this will be further explained in this blog.

3 Ways to Measure Fat Percentage

While BMI is a simple measure of body weight, it can be inaccurate for people with a lot of muscle mass. Using a skinfoldimeter provides a detailed estimate of fat percentage, but requires accurate measurements and formulas. No method is perfect, so it is advisable to consider different indicators and professional assessments for a more complete picture of health.

If you have too much fat percentage, the Jake Light shakes are advisable to use. These contain fewer calories and help you limit your calorie intake. If you are just below BMI, then choose Jake Sports to increase your calorie intake. Are you looking for good support for a healthy lifestyle? Then choose Jake Original.
