How regular sex can help to improve gut health. Dr James Kinross of Imperial College, London, proposes that sexual reproduction allows for the sharing of microbiomes, guarding against parasitic infections and pathogens. These shared microbes are also key to breaking down enzymes in food, thus diversifying the microbiome, which in turn is crucial for overall health. Oral and vaginal microbiome health can be compromised by over-cleaning and the excessive use of products such as mouthwash and harsh soaps.
