In recent years, probiotics can be regarded as a "prone" name. The reason why they are so popular is that the proper intake of probiotics can better regulate and improve the bacterial balance in the intestine. A good intestinal flora environment not only helps us digest and absorb nutrients in food, but also helps our body establish immunity . So, do you know why intestinal flora imbalance supplements probiotics? What harm will intestinal flora imbalance bring to the human body?
Intestinal microbiota dysfunction
should be supplemented with probiotics
1. Where are the manifestations of intestinal microbiota dysfunction?
⒈The normal intestines will have various microorganisms . These microorganisms are called intestinal flora. The intestinal flora restricts each other and interacts with each other, so that the intestines have an ecological balance. When the internal and external environment of the intestine is broken, the intestinal flora will become dysregulated, especially in the abuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Since sensitive enteric bacteria are inhibited, unsuppressed bacteria will take the opportunity to reproduce, resulting in the imbalance of the flora, resulting in the destruction of the normal physiological combination and a series of concurrent situations.
⒉The human body is mainly manifested as: Diarrhea, abdominal pain, abdominal distension, intestinal rumbling , which may be accompanied by fever, nausea, vomiting, etc. If these problems are to be solved, it is necessary to correct the imbalanced intestinal microecology environment and restore the normal bacterial flora of intestinal .
2. What are the main causes of intestinal microbial disorders?
⒈Age factors
Age balance will change as age increases, manifested as a decrease in bifidobacteria and an increase in Clostridium perfringens . The former may weaken the stimulation of immune function, while the latter causes the increase of toxins to inhibit immunity to . Probiotics in the human intestines will decrease with age. If the elderly can maintain the balance of intestinal bacterial flora at young age, they may be able to improve their immunity. In addition, infants and young children have low immunity and are also prone to this disease.
⒉ Dietary factors
Diet can significantly change the fecal bacterial cluster. The results of studying the metabolic activity of bacterial clusters by measuring bacterial enzymes show that diet can significantly change the fecal bacterial clusters. Fiber-free foods can promote bacterial translocation. Fibrous foods can maintain normal metabolism and cellular dynamics of intestinal mucosal cells. A low-slag diet with fiber added has good effect on preserving the structure and function of the intestines. Food fiber can reduce bacterial translocation, but cannot restore barrier function to normal.
3.Drug factors
This factor is the most common cause of intestinal microbial disorders. For example, the large amount of broad-spectrum antibiotics or the use of immunosuppressant , cytotoxic drugs, hormones, anti-tumor drugs, etc., can inhibit intestinal sensitive bacteria and cause drug-resistant bacteria to proliferate excessively, thus leading to the loss of balance of intestinal microbial.
Antibiotic is an important cause of intestinal microbial disorders. Rational use of antibiotics can reduce the occurrence of intestinal microbial disorders. Strictly controlling the dosage and use time of antibiotics is the main solution.
3. What are the main causes of intestinal microbial disorders?
1, Irritable bowel syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome is a group of continuous or intermittent attacks, with changes in abdominal pain, abdominal distension, bowel habits and stool traits as clinical manifestations. Intestinal dysfunction lacking gastrointestinal structure and biochemical abnormalities is the highest incidence of functional intestinal problems in humans. Intestinal flora disorders are closely related to Irritable bowel syndrome.
2, multi-organ failure
Multi-organ failure refers to a syndrome in which the body develops two or more organ dysfunction, or even functional failure after suffering severe damage. Intestinal flora imbalance can lead to endotoxinemia and endotoxin transmission caused by bacteria and endotoxin displacement. Because it is caused by infections generated in the patient's body, it is difficult to cut off the source of toxins, which continuously makes the leukocyte system in the liver and intestines active, thereby causing and promoting the waterfall response of inflammatory mediators, causing extensive tissue damage, leading to multiple organ insufficiency, and causing multi-organ failure.
3, diabetes
diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia . Hyperglycemia is caused by insulin secretion defects or impaired biological effects, or both. The specific mechanism of action of intestinal flora disorders on the impairment of pancreatic islet cell function has not been clarified. Up to now, relevant studies include the theory of growth factor, short-chain fatty acid, endotoxin, bile acid, etc.
4, enteritis
Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are their main manifestations. People with enteritis mostly have intestinal microbial disorders, which mostly occur in ileum, rectum, colon and other parts that are in contact with bacteria. Invasive bacteria overgrowth in the intestine, resulting in excessive antigens in the intestine causing inflammatory responses, thereby reducing the intestinal self-repair ability and losing integrity.
4. How to maintain the stability of the intestinal bacteria?
1. Eat more fruits and vegetables
Daily diet can eat more fruits and vegetables and coarse grains containing dietary fiber. Although dietary fiber cannot be absorbed by the body, it can be used by bacterial groups to maintain the intestinal environment, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, excrete metabolic waste and intestinal residues in the body, effectively prevent constipation, and you can also eat more soy products, milk and grains containing protein , because intestinal bacteria can use protein residues to synthesize amino acid needed by the human body, and also participate in protein and sugar metabolism.
2, supplementing probiotics
Intestinal microbiota disorder is directly related to the body's state. There are many bacteria in the intestine, including beneficial bacteria and harmful bacteria. These two bacteria are in a balanced state, and if they are unbalanced, they will cause diarrhea. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement beneficial bacteria to promote intestinal peristalsis and supplement beneficial bacteria, which can inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria and thus alleviate diarrhea. Therefore, more probiotics, namely "good bacteria", should be supplemented in daily life to restore the intestinal bacterial balance.
3, Keep exercise
Reduce long-term sitting time and participate in outdoor activities more, such as walking, brisk walking or jogging, which can provide power for gastrointestinal peristalsis. In addition, abdominal breathing method can improve the gastrointestinal activity and effectively exercise the gastrointestinal digestive function. Massage the abdomen counterclockwise and clockwise before going to bed every day can also speed up gastrointestinal peristalsis. In addition, develop the good habit of regularly stooling and ensure one bowel movement a day.
