In 450 BC, Hipocrates stated, “All diseases begin in the gut. When the gut is sick, the back part of the body is also sick.” This sentence is explained with the term “microbiota” in human body. Microbiota is the environment where microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria, and virus live together in our body. These microorganisms are found in certain parts of our body, upper respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, urinary system, eyes, and skin. Microbiota has been shown to change according to drug use, nutrition, age, and environment. As a result of these changes, learning, memory, functioning of the psychological or immune system, drug metabolism, and hormonal changes may occur. The aim of this article is to explain the importance of intestinal microbiota which is our second brain and the importance of our health.
