You are your microbes, it’s like you and your best friends are one team, working together every day.

Imagine your body is a big city, and microbes are tiny people who live in it. These tiny people help you do things like digest food, fight off germs, and even feel happy. Scientists Jessica Green and Karen Guillemin study how these tiny friends work with you to keep you healthy.

Think of your gut, the inside of your tummy, as a busy playground. The microbes there are like your friends who help you eat lunch, break down the food, and even give you energy for playtime. If your team of microbes is happy and strong, you feel better too!

Sometimes, if something goes wrong with your microbes, like if they get sick or don’t have enough to eat, it can make you feel grumpy or tired. That’s why taking care of your body helps your tiny friends stay healthy too.

So next time you eat a snack, remember: you're not just eating food, you’re feeding your whole team! You are your microbes, it’s like you and your best friends are one team, working together every day.
