“…Thus, individuals with wrong eating habits can suffer dysbiosis, causing the reduction of bacteria that produce short-chain free fatty acids. This cycle increases the pathogenic bacteria, which can generate a sick intestinal environment [16].…”

“…Obesity is an inflammatory disease mediated by oxidative stress and inflammatory agents that modify the intestinal structure, changing good bacteria and increasing obesogenic bacteria such as Bacteroides and Firmicutes, respectively. Being overweight also increases mortality and morbidity rates in adults and children, due to the association of other diseases such as Diabetes Mellitus, heart disease, and even some types of cancer [16].…”

Introduction: The gut microbiota (GM) is formed by millions of microorganisms present in the gastrointestinal tract, especially in the colon. This intestinal homeostasis can be triggered by the union of a good diet, and even recent studies have suggested that aerobic physical training can modify its composition. Objective: To analyze the influence of healthy eating added to the practice of physical exercise in changing the composition of the GM. Methods: The research was carried out with an exploratory, qualitative and bibliographic approach. A literature review that brings together important studies on the influence of physical exercise on GM. Results: Data collection for this literature review was carried out from March to September, using articles, in addition to trustworthy websites, with the following descriptors: gut microbiota, microbiota, intestinal flora, food, probiotics, and physical exercise. Conclusion: The training was efficient to change the GM composition in sedentary men, thus being able to minimize possible negative interferences of the sedentary pattern. Bacteria that reside in our body work with a commensalism strategy, where there are two different structures, the microorganism, and the individual's body, but both live together normally and thus work together to maintain the GM balance.

“…Além do tipo de parto, a amamentação, a exposição ao meio ambiente, a dieta, a utilização de antibióticos, prebióticos, probióticos e simbióticos, até mesmo o estilo de vida, podem interferir no desenvolvimento da microbiota intestinal, ficando estável no desenvolvimento do recém-nascido e, mais precisamente, até os dois anos de idade.Nesse período, por volta dos dois anos de idade, a composição da microflora intestinal torna-se estável, sendo alcançada a flora tipo adulto. A partir de então, embora a microflora intestinal permaneça em interação permanente com microrganismos do meio ambiente, a sua composição se mantém estável e depende do equilíbrio entre bactérias benéficas e patogênicas(FONSECA e PINHEIRO, 2019;SCHMIDT et al, 2017;SILVA-JUNIOR et al, 2017).Dessa forma, a quantidade de bactérias no estomago é relativamente baixa, devido ao suco gástrico, que deixa o ambiente muito ácido. Nessa região, há predomínio de Lactobacillus sp.…”
