Let’s talk about the new star in the health industry in recent years, probiotics are considered to be a C-position outbreak. There are also more and more products marked with "probiotics" on the market.
However, the truth is: most people will only say in general that probiotics help the intestines, but they can't tell the reason.
Such a hot probiotic, it is time to learn more from multiple aspects...
"10,000 years" probiotics past and present life
1. Rising posture! probiotics are derived from Greek
probiotics etymology comes from Greek, meaning "for life".
1965 was first used by Lilley and Stillwell of St. John's University in the United States to describe substances secreted by microorganisms that can promote the growth of other microorganisms, corresponding to antibiotics 1.
has changed many times since then. Currently, the definition given by World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is widely used: probiotics refer to live microorganisms, which are beneficial to the health of the host when intake of sufficient amounts.
2. The ancient China is the earliest birthplace of probiotic foods
Although the word probiotic is relatively new, the "preface" of probiotic foods that humans began to eat has been around for about 10,000 years.
As early as the Neolithic Age more than 9,000 years ago (7000 BC), people in Jiahu area, Henan, China had already mixed rice, honey and fruits and fermented them through yeast to form a beverage. This is also the earliest record of the consumption of probiotics that can be found today.
3. The secret of "longevity" yogurt
Yogurt has a long history of eating.
The first time that confirmed its beneficial effect was Dr. Élie Metchnikoff, a Russian scientist working at the famous Pasteur Institute in France. He believes that there are many harmful microorganisms living in the ends of the human intestines that can cause "sorption" in the intestines and produce a variety of "toxins", while eating probiotics can "neutralize" this hazard.
1905, through a detailed study of the eating habits of local residents of Bulgaria , Dr. Metchnikoff proposed that part of the secret of people's longevity is related to their long-term consumption of fermented milk. Bulgarian scientist Stamen Gorigorov isolated the bacteria that makes milk sour and named it " Lactobacillus Bulgarian ", which is still the most widely used bacteria in the yogurt fermentation process. He is also called the "father of probiotics" 5 for proposing the concept of "intake of microorganisms for health promotion".
Although the current evidence is still insufficient to support the idea that yogurt can help longevity, it is undeniable that yogurt does have many beneficial effects on human health.
4. Can you accept heavy-taste "feces capsules"?
A healthy adult intestine is planted with hundreds of trillions and more than 2,000 microorganisms. These microorganisms live in the intestines and form an ecosystem unique to the human intestines. They are called the "intestinal microecology" system, and a large number of bacteria form the " intestinal bacterial flora ".
These bacteria can be divided into probiotics (good bacteria), pathogenic bacteria (bad bacteria) and conditional pathogenic bacteria (neutral bacteria, whoever has more helps). In a healthy state, the number of beneficial bacteria is much greater than that of pathogenic bacteria. But when pathogenic bacteria exceed beneficial bacteria, human health will be threatened.
Feed transplantation is a method that transplants the flora from healthy human feces into the intestines of patients and reconstructs their intestinal flora, thereby achieving the purpose of treating diseases.
As early as 1700 years ago, there were records of using urination and defecation to treat patients in traditional Chinese medicine, and there were related records in the famous "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Modern reports on fecal transplant therapy were reported in 1958. Eiseman, a surgeon at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, and three others used fecal water to treat 4 cases of severe pseudomembrane enteritis.
After that, scientists extracted beneficial bacteria on this basis and developed "fecal capsules", which can further improve the therapeutic effectiveness of intestinal diseases such as Clostridium difficile infection.
At present, "fecal therapy" is mainly used to treat infections of Clostridium difficile, and it can also play a role in intestinal flora-related diseases such as obesity, fatty liver, and metabolic syndrome.
How deep is your misunderstanding about probiotics?
All probiotic products are the same?
Do you think all probiotic products are similar?
too young too simple!
First, let me give you some knowledge points on genus, strains and strains.
can be simply understood as: the bacterial world (prokaryotic world) is like a school. The genus of bacteria is different grades, the strain is the classes in each grade, and the strain is the students in each class. Just like students in the same class will have certain similarities, but they will not be exactly the same, and there are differences in grades. The functions of different strains under the same bacterial species may be similar, but they may also have different or even opposite effects.
Probiotics Prebiotics Branch of the Chinese Nutrition Society, doctoral supervisor and professor at the West China School of Public Health, Sichuan University, said that different probiotic products on the market may have different effects due to the different strains contained.
In addition, some probiotic products contain only a single strain, while others contain several. Therefore, the probiotic products supplied on the market vary greatly due to the characteristics and quantity of the strains used. Each probiotic product has a great difference in its function. This is why professional probiotic brands are divided into subcategories such as infants, children, women, and adults. Because the probiotics needed by each population are really different.
Supplementary probiotics = Drinking yogurt?
There is also a common misunderstanding that "drinking yogurt is equivalent to supplementing probiotics."
Usually, the ordinary yogurt we drink is mainly made of fermentation of fermentation bacteria. During the fermentation process, the carbohydrates, fats and proteins in the milk will be hydrolyzed to a certain extent, transforming them to produce nutrients that are more conducive to the human body's absorption, and producing a certain flavor to increase the taste.
Therefore, yogurt is a very good source of nutrition, but the fermentation bacteria used in ordinary yogurt is mainly used for fermentation and cannot be called probiotics. At present, with the rise of probiotics, some yogurt products will also add a certain number of probiotic strains. You can choose the corresponding yogurt products as needed.
really decides to supplement probiotics, or to carefully understand what the strains of bacteria contained in this product are and whether it is suitable for you as mentioned above. . Among common probiotic products, the probiotic products of general powders are to freeze-dry the probiotics, which contain high viable bacteria, and are more conducive to storage than liquid forms~
Probiotic products must be refrigerated?
This misunderstanding is a typical generalization. Related studies have shown that for most probiotics, drying and preservation at low temperature can maximize the number of active probiotics 6.
However, this does not mean that probiotic products cannot be stored at room temperature. Many probiotic supplements on the market already have room temperature storage technology, such as microencapsulation embedding technology, which can allow probiotic products to be stored for a long time at room temperature and maintain the activity of the probiotics contained.
Therefore, for how to store probiotic products, it is recommended that you store them according to the storage conditions specified in the product and eat them as soon as possible during the shelf life. Try to use warm water not higher than 37℃ when brewing.
probiotics cannot be eaten continuously?
At present, my country requires that probiotic products and strains are members of the normal bacterial flora of the human body. Strains that can be added to ordinary food have clear regulations and requirements. The biological, genetic and effective characteristics of the strains used for production must be clear and stable to ensure safe consumption and no adverse reactions.
Some people think that once probiotic supplementation is stopped, the effect will be gone, so they deduced the wrong conclusion that "continuous use of probiotics produces dependence". In fact, there may be many reasons for this.
on the one hand may be because its intestinal bacterial flora is relatively stubborn. In the short term of taking, a new and healthy bacterial flora has not been established;
on the other hand, the supplemented probiotic strain cannot be colonized in the human intestine for a long time or permanently. Once supplementation is stopped, it will gradually disappear from the human intestine, and the result will weaken. Therefore, in order to continue to achieve the same effect, it is recommended to use it for a long time, which has nothing to do with dependence.
Scientifically confirms that probiotics have these effects
In the past 15 years, probiotics have received great attention, and related research has shown a blowout growth, among which the number of clinical studies has also increased year by year.
According to the official guidelines of the International Gastrointestinal Organization "WGO" and the International Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics Science (ISAPP), probiotics have a positive effect on immune function, digestion, reducing antibiotic-related diarrhea, alleviating digestive tract symptoms, improving resistance to colds, urogenital tract health, improving digestion of lactose, controlling blood sugar, controlling weight, reducing anxiety, infectious diarrhea, eczema, colic and other diseases 7, 8.
