Oligosaccharides raise good bacteria and green tea kills bad bacteria! Oligosaccharides and green tea maintain intestinal health

Yi Ji (world authority on intestinal bacteria, doctor of agriculture) Oligosaccharides are beneficial to intestinal health. Although it is a sugar, "oligosaccharide" is beneficial to intestinal health. Bifidobacterium in the intestine lives on "oligosaccharides". You may not have noticed that bananas and other foods are rich in oligosaccharides. For example, the "fructooligosaccharides" contained in onions and burdock can help mineral absorption and inhibit osteoporosis. Others include soybean oligosaccharides, agar oligosaccharides in cold weather, arabinooligosaccharides in apples and isomaltooligosaccharides in honey. Although the species are different, they are all oligosaccharides, which are also the food of Bifidobacterium. Oligosaccharides have heat resistance and will not disappear after heating and conditioning. Green onion and asparagus fiber are also rich in oligosaccharides. In addition, many oligosaccharides, such as "xylooligosaccharide" extracted from the kernels of corn and bamboo shoots and "lactulose" synthesized from fructose and lactose, have been commercialized and then put on the market. It is also a method to add 1 spoon oligosaccharide to yogurt containing Bifidobacterium and stir it before eating. You must pay attention to eating oligosaccharides-eating too much will cause diarrhea. Because oligosaccharides will affect the water absorption of the large intestine. Excessive intake of oligosaccharides will hinder the absorption of water by intestinal wall, lead to the increase of water in stool, produce soft stool and even cause diarrhea. If you ingest oligosaccharides from natural ingredients such as vegetables and fruits, you won't have this problem, but if you ingest oligosaccharides from synthetic commodities, you must pay attention to whether you ingest too much. In addition, although oligosaccharides are sugar, they are not as sweet as granulated sugar. In the past, in order to improve people's intestinal environment, I cooperated with companies that make oligosaccharides and tried to educate consumers to use oligosaccharides instead of sugar in cooking. But because oligosaccharides are not as sweet as sugar, the whole project ended in failure. People who don't like the sour taste of yogurt can add honey rich in oligosaccharides and high nutritional value, or fruit with high sweetness to enjoy with yogurt. Fruits such as bananas or figs are not only rich in oligosaccharides, but also rich in dietary fiber, which can be a strong backing for good bacteria.

Drinking green tea helps to inhibit bad bacteria from forming the habit of "drinking green tea every day" and purify the intestines. What substances are beneficial to the operation of good bacteria in the intestine? The answers are dietary fiber, probiotics and oligosaccharides. I want to read here, and you can definitely answer such a question. However, please add "green tea" to your answer. "Green tea" is neither dietary fiber nor probiotics, and it does not contain beneficial bacteria such as oligosaccharides. Why can it effectively improve the intestinal environment? Simply put, this is related to the "bactericidal effect" of green tea. In the past, as an expert on enterobacteria, I assisted in filming the program "Try Catechin" (NHK) and investigated the health effects of green tea on the spot. The plan began with an investigation in Guachuan City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Guachuan City is healthier and longer than other areas in Shizuoka Prefecture, and it is also one of the best tea-producing areas in Japan. The main axis of this program is to investigate whether the green tea life of Guachuan citizens is related to health and longevity. In order to help uncover the truth, I found 10 subjects who don't usually drink tea, and asked them to drink 2 liters of tea every day for 10 days to carry out related experiments. In order to focus on the relationship between green tea and intestinal bacteria, subjects were asked not to take probiotics during this period. Besides, their eating habits and living habits are the same as usual. The results showed that the number of bifidobacteria in the intestines of all subjects increased after the test compared with before the test. Before the test, the average proportion of Bifidobacterium in the intestine was 16.6%, but it actually increased to 26. 1% after the test. Then, please stop drinking tea and test again one week later, and the result value drops to 17.4%, which is close to the original average. Experiments clearly prove that continuous drinking of green tea can effectively improve the intestinal environment. Why can drinking tea increase the number of Bifidobacterium? Everyone knows that tea has excellent antibacterial effect, so it may be that the antibacterial power of tea inhibits the reproduction of intestinal bad bacteria and indirectly helps the growth of Bifidobacterium! So can Bifidobacterium resist the antibacterial activity of green tea? Rather than saying so, it is better to say that when bad bacteria are inhibited by the antibacterial power of green tea, Bifidobacterium took the opportunity to expand its sphere of influence. Drinking tea every day is one of the secrets to keep the intestines unobstructed. It is amazing to suddenly ask you to drink 2 liters of tea every day, but it is not difficult to think of it as drinking tea instead of drinking water. However, most bottled tea drinks on the market contain additives such as pigments, spices and preservatives. If possible, you'd better get into the habit of making your own tea. The program also introduces the "deep steamed tea" that Guachuan people usually drink. Under the geographical conditions of abundant sunshine, the tea produced in Guachuan is rich in catechins, but the disadvantage is that it tastes too astringent. In order to make Guachuan tea taste smoother, local tea farmers have developed a method of steaming and baking for a long time. This is called "deep steaming", which was originally developed to remove the astringency of tea, but it fully extracted carotene, vitamin E and chlorophyll from tea by destroying tea tissue. In addition to hanging Sichuan tea, you can also buy deep steamed tea from other producing areas. The program introduces how to make the equivalent of deep steamed tea with ordinary tea leaves. The method is-pour the tea leaves into a grinding bowl, inject hot water, mash the tea leaves with a grinding rod, filter and drink. This is not just making tea, but grinding tea leaves so that the ingredients in tea leaves can be fully absorbed by the human body. In addition, it is also introduced that the last remaining tea residue can be mixed in cooking to fully absorb the essence of tea without wasting any tea ingredients.
