Many organs may be affected by the ecological changes of intestinal bacteria.
Lin, director of the Family Medicine Department of the Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University and a professor at the School of Medicine of China Medical University, said that when the intestine is under pressure, the ecological balance of intestinal bacteria will change. At this time, many organs of the body may be affected, except the brain and physical and mental diseases. Intestinal bacterial ecology is also related to immunity and cancer risk; For example, when the ecological balance of intestinal bacteria is destroyed, the function of immune cells T cells will also be affected, and the frequency of allergic attacks may increase. Autoimmune diseases such as Crohn's disease and inflammatory colitis are also related to intestinal bacterial ecosystem.
Create an intestinal friendly environment to help beneficial bacteria flourish.
Professor Lin explained that when everyone is born, the ecology and species of intestinal bacteria are different. Modern people are under great pressure, including smoking and eating big fish and meat, which will also increase the pressure on the body and intestines, and the intestinal bacterial system is naturally vulnerable. Not only bad bacteria grow in the intestine, but also the ecological diversity of bacteria will become worse and the number of bacteria will become less and less. In order to maintain the health and diversification of intestinal ecology, we must start with "environmental construction" and adjust the overall environment of intestinal bacteria, so as to truly improve the health of intestinal tract and body and balance immunity.
Nutrients such as dietary fiber are very important to maintain the ecological balance of the intestine. When intestinal beneficial bacteria meet dietary fiber, they will produce short-chain fatty acids, which will be absorbed by villi and form healthy substances through a series of chain reactions.
Probiotic products increase the colonization rate of beneficial bacteria
Whether the intestinal bacterial ecosystem is healthy or not does not depend on a single or a few good flora. Professor Lin pointed out that the species, quantity and diversity of beneficial bacteria are the main influencing factors. The biggest function of probiotic products is to tailor a complete ecosystem of beneficial bacteria for digestive tract, which will nourish other beneficial bacteria and increase the colonization rate of good bacteria. At the same time, it contains immune-enhancing active peptides, isoflavones and lactic acid, which can quickly decompose harmful substances and components in a short time, strengthen the function of digestive tract, and make the intestinal flora ecosystem more prosperous and diversified.
With a healthy diet and regular exercise, the health care effect is not compromised.
At present, some nutritional supplements on the market first use technologies such as "raw fermentation" and "strain culture" to develop probiotic products, mainly to create a favorite environment for intestinal bacteria and to diversify the types of probiotics. Professor Lin appealed that people should try their best to choose products with guaranteed quality and supported by research literature when choosing related products, and with healthy diet and exercise habits, the health care effect will not be compromised.
