I'm mid 70's - been doing Qui Gong for 14 years - as little as a 15min work out or up to 45 min - never miss a day - It works your mind and body has kept me fit and ready to walk the Camino de Santiago - 800km/500 m - in Sept - health and exercise are key. Great article with some info I will definitely follow-up.

How interesting Lila. I've never heard of Qui Gong, I just looked it up and can see there's some classes here in Brisbane. I might try it out! :)

One of the most powerful (and interesting) groups doing this work here in the UK is Zoe - https://zoe.com/. I was one of the first 1,000 people to try their Personalise nutrition programme in the UK which is fascinating. Tim Spector, Drs. Chris & Xand Van Tulleken, Dr Karan Rajan are all world renowned scientists in this area. There is so much information they gladly disseminate to those who are interested.

Thanks Caroline, I'll check them out. Did their personalised nutrition programme make a difference?

Well yes in that I also took a re-test 1 year later and it was the microbiome that had improved.

I already ate well (lots of fruit & veg, food cooked from scratch most days, no UPF) but it was the variety of food that was as important so introducing things like chia seeds, fermented food (sauerkraut), flax seeds, 85% dark chocolate, 30 different plants a week etc etc contributed to this. Fascinating stuff.
