Prof @Thuls_M discusses the importance of comparing gut microbiome community in African populations and the impact of diet at #microbiome24 meeting. Our own @microbiomestudy aims to look at African populations living in the UK.

Thanks to funding from Research England we have been running free Caribbean cooking workshops, learning about different foods and how they can improve the number of healthy bacteria living in our gut. One of the meals we cooked was Ackee and Saltfish, Jamaican's national dishπŸ‡―πŸ‡²

Ackee has many health benefits, including having a high amount of dietary fibre which is beneficial for digestive health. #Jamaicanfood #Caribbean #Diet #Microbiome #GutHealth
