Function and efficacy of probiotics 1 to maintain normal intestinal function.
Intestine is not only the digestive system of human body, but also the largest immune organ and the largest microecosystem. Through its growth and various metabolic effects, it promotes the normalization of intestinal flora, inhibits the production of intestinal spoilage substances and maintains the normal function of intestinal function.
2. Relieve the symptoms of lactose intolerance and promote digestion and absorption.
Lactose intolerance refers to the lack of lactose metabolizing enzymes in the human body, intake of dairy products, abdominal distension, abdominal pain and other adverse reactions. The lactase activity of 75% adults in the world seems to be weak, and the lactase activity of some Asian countries exceeds 90%. It is found that the activity of galactosidase such as Lactobacillus can significantly reduce lactose concentration and produce lactic acid, which is beneficial to digestion and absorption.
3. Enhance human immunity
Probiotics enter the intestine, on the one hand, they colonize in the intestine to maintain the balance of intestinal flora; On the other hand, probiotics can directly affect the host's immune system, induce intestinal immunity, stimulate immune organs such as thymus and spleen, promote macrophage activity, and exert specific immune activity by enhancing the response of B and T lymphocytes to antigen stimulation, thus enhancing human immune function.
4. Prevent cancer and inhibit tumor growth.
Probiotics can also inhibit tumor growth, produce some inhibitory metabolites, such as polysaccharide, bacteriocin and lactic acid, and activate the immune system, especially the activity of macrophages, NK cells and B lymphocytes, inhibit cell mutation, reduce the pH value of the intestine, stimulate intestinal peristalsis, and excrete intestinal pathogenic toxins and carcinogens, thus reducing the possibility of cancer.
Step 5 Alleviate allergic reactions
Studies have found that the more probiotics in the intestines of normal people, the less likely they are to suffer from allergic diseases. Probiotics can induce T cells to produce a large amount of IL- 12, inhibit IgE6 and lower serum cholesterol.
Probiotics mainly reduce cholesterol content through assimilation, inhibit the activity of cholesterol synthase (3- hydroxy -3- methylglutaric acid coenzyme A reductase), hydrolyze bile salts in small intestine and cholesterol precipitated in food through the action of probiotic bile salt hydrolase, reduce the absorption of cholesterol by human body and promote excretion.
When it comes to probiotics, people will give priority to dairy products such as yogurt and Yakult. Drinking a cup of probiotic yogurt every day has also become one of the healthy lifestyles. So, can probiotics be eaten for a long time?
1. According to scientific research, it is most appropriate to eat probiotics properly to maintain a good balance of body flora. Whether it is probiotic dairy products or pure probiotics, don't overdo it.
2. From the point of view of preventing intestinal diseases, the addition of probiotics can really resist the occurrence of these diseases and enhance intestinal resistance. Probiotics maintain the balance of flora and prevent diarrhea caused by flora imbalance.
3. On the whole, the only probiotic that changes probiotic supplements is intestinal microbial flora. No research shows that probiotics affect human immune system and enhance general immunity, and have no obvious effect on human body.
Is probiotics good for your baby? Probiotics are a kind of bacteria beneficial to human body. It usually exists in human intestine and plays a beneficial role by improving the ecological balance of intestinal flora.
Probiotics include Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, among which Lactobacillus plays a similar role in infants and young children, and Bifidobacterium is of great significance to infants and young children because breast milk contains Bifidobacterium factors that promote the proliferation of Bifidobacterium. In addition, Bifidobacterium infantis is a natural "resident" in the gastrointestinal tract of infants.
Probiotics can help the baby's intestinal peristalsis, promote digestion and maintain the normal work of the intestine. For the baby, after intestinal problems, it is necessary to use probiotics for conditioning. When the baby doesn't eat, he can eat some probiotics properly, so that the baby can digest better and eat more.
It is a very serious thing that babies don't eat. If it is caused by indigestion, eating some probiotics can obviously improve it, but it is best to go to the hospital for examination, because many diseases will also cause the baby not to eat. If it is determined that it is caused by the disease, then it is necessary to receive treatment as soon as possible.
