Recently I came across how antibiotic use and exposure during early childhood development (up to age 3) can alter the gut microbiota (dysbiosis) and establish a predisposition to obesity in children and adults. Studies in the last decade have pointed to this disruption in our flora due to antibiotics, which contribute to promoting certain bacteria that "affects energy harvest from the diet and energy storage in the host". It's really quite the eye opening area of research and shows the interconnection between seemingly separate health problems. Antibiotic misuse and overuse, poor dietary nutrition (including high-fructose sweeteners, excessive simple carb consumption), Vitamin D deficiency from ongoing dietary imbalances and lack of basic sunshine, increasingly inactive lifestyle in ratio to caloric requirements. All these issues are interacting and compounding the problem of so-called Covid-19 immunity... yet the one size fits all vaccine answer is our only hope? Yikes!
