The effect of intermittent fasting on gut microbiota

Nutritional habits are known to affect the gut microbiota. Recently, it has been focused on the effect of the time taken in food on the microbiota rather than the variety of food intake, and it has been seen that this affects the microbiome. Although it has been reported that intermittent fasting increases beneficial microorganisms in the microbiota and decreases pathogenic microorganisms, its mechanism of action has not been fully explained. The purpose of this review is to interpret current studies examining the relationship between intermittent fasting and microbiota.
