Epicurus (341β270 BC) was an ancient Greek philosopher who founded Epicureanism, emphasizing the pursuit of a tranquil, happy life through ataraxia (freedom from fear) and aponia (absence of pain). His teachings combined atomism, ethics, and naturalistic theology, advocating simple living, friendship, and the rejection of superstition.

info_outlineβ Coffee & Gut Microbiome π¦
π¬ A multi-cohort study (N = 22,867) found a strong link between coffee consumption and the gut bacterium Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus.
π§ͺ Metabolomics identified key coffee-derived metabolites like quinic acid, hippurate, and trigonelline.
π Machine learning (AUC = 0.89) confirmed microbiome composition predicts coffee intake.
π§« In vitro studies showed coffee stimulates L. asaccharolyticus growth.
βοΈ Findings suggest polyphenols in coffee shape gut microbiota and metabolic pathways.
π Future research aims to explore dose-dependent effects, health benefits, and microbiome-driven nutrition.
