Immortal beings probably develop insane gut flora microbiomes just from those bacterias evolving in their guts over centuries or millenia

Let’s explore the fascinating world of the gut microbiome—a bustling community of trillions of bacteria, viruses, and fungi residing in your intestines. These microscopic residents play a vital role in your overall health, influencing everything from digestion and immunity to your mental well-being. Ever wondered why you feel “butterflies” in your stomach before a big event? That’s your gut-brain…

Just in case anyone has missed the trend of science news showing that the gut microbiome is really important, here's some articles

It's involved in cancer prevention:

It's involved in Alzheimer's:

It's involved in allergic reactions:

It's involved in absorption of dietary fats (for instance leading to weight gain, as opposed to say, genetics or exercise):

I'm pretty sure this trend will continue and that we'll find that a lot of things we thought were genetic or random are heavily influenced by gut flora

I'm excited about this

I think a lot of human conditions, whether diseases or not, will become less mysterious

healthy reminder that a heavily neglected factor in whether or not people get UTI's is your gut flora. this is probably the biggest factor in whether or not you get UTI's that has nothing to do with hygeine or sex behavior.

the best way to establish a healthy gut flora is to eat both probiotics (yogurt, kimchi, aged cheese, and other fermented foods) and prebiotics (fiber: whole grains, beans, nuts, seeds, whole fruit and vegetables) and minimize ultra-processed (junk) foods.

not able to eat dairy products? no problem. there are fermented soybean and other tofu products, pretty much any vegetable can be pickled through fermentation, and you can even take probiotic supplements.

the best part about a healthy gut flora? it not only prevents UTI's, it also prevents GI infections, heart disease, metabolic syndrome (type 2diabetes, fatty liver disease, and high blood pressure), and several types of cancer, and even has positive effects on mental health. so it's just generally good for you

seriously, if you eat milk try switching to yogurt if possible, and find ways to eat that fiber. i switched some time ago from eating cereal with milk, to instead eating a bowl of yogurt with ground flaxseed and hemp seeds. that's a great way to get healthy gut flora because you get both prebiotics (from the seeds) and probiotics in one food.

if you find you seem to keep getting UTI's regardless of your hygeine or caution with sex, look at your diet, your gut flora might be the weak link here and it might be pretty straightforward to fix!!!

this is on topic for me because i currently have a uti, but i figured i would remind people that utis suck!!! pee after sex, wipe front to back, and go to the doctor on the first sign of a uti. in the old days if you had a uti you'd just have to like die or something but now if you catch it quickly you can just take antibiotics for like 5 days and be totally fine with no complications. modern medicine wins again 🎉

gentle addition that UTIs can and do sometimes Just Happen for reasons that have nothing to do with personal hygiene reasons, and virtually any partnered sexual behavior involving your genitals can also be the impetus for a UTI even if you urinate afterwards.

Antibiotics’ Effects on the Gut microbiota and Food Desires/Food Craving

large and varied population of bacteria called the human gut microbiota inhabits the digestive tract. Our general health and well-being are greatly influenced by this community, which helps to control our immune system, metabolism, and even mood.

Flora being the actual name of Moon Presence matches so well, actually? (Apparently the "nameless" bit was edited out of Japanese original and localizations simply didn't catch up with that, but yeah... although Gehrman addressing her as Flora is a cut content dialogue, paired with the fact that "nameless" bit was retracted I think it is safe to assume that Doll does say her name and not like.. just Kin plant-life in general!)

But, again, Flora. Like, plants. In Bloodborne lore, plants, more specifically flowers, reach for the 'Stars' in the sky! Sun itself is also a star, and the Moon only shines because reflecting the light of the Sun, so, because of the star. It is played as though she is "superior" compared to the 'stars', but it only makes sense that as a 'moon' she is jealous and usurps the power! It is in how Moon doesn't glow itself and is just a dark rock no one can see without reflecting the light of the star, and how the flora(plantlife) in Bloodborne reaches for the star. This is just so clever
