Ok so you’ve heard us bang on and on about your gut flora and how important it is for your health. These tiny little microorganisms have such a huge impact on the way we feel and how we function, it is impossible to ignore them any longer! So what can you do to make sure you are helping these little guys thrive? Below are five helpful hints to help your flora flourish: Eat More Plants and Dietary Fiber Changing your diet might be the simplest yet most effective way to transform your gut bacteria, with all the studies pointing to one simple action – EAT MORE PLANTS! By eating more plants, especially green leafy vegetables you will promote and maintain microbiota diversity. Dietary fiber found in vegetables gives your gut flora something to…
This theory can be further expanded as specific eukaryote cells underwent secondary symbiosis, a process by which the larger host cell engulfs a eukaryote that has previously undergone primary endosymbiosis (McFadden,2001). It is speculated that this phenomenon occurred widely among species,ultimately resulting in the product of many unique and complex organisms present today (McFadden, 2001). Therefore the development and evolution of many species can be attributed to the endosymbiosis between…
Don’t be afraid of dysbiosis among autism kids; we alleviate their hurdles. Dysbiosis: An imbalanced natural flora of the digestive tract is called dysbiosis. Natural flora is nothing but they are bacteria found in or on our bodies without causing diseases. The unhealthy bacteria have high potent of overgrowing that develops inflammation, decreased nutrition level absorption and impairs the development is the autism cases. Probiotics or natural balanced good flora in the gut is important for…
Normal flora is the colonisation of human tissues by a diverse mixture of microorganisms. This colonisation begins at birth with pioneer species, depending on physiochemical factors. The normal flora inhibits the skin, oral cavity, upper respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, urogenital and conjunctival membranes. They are commensal bacteria; getting shelter and nourishment from the host without causing harm (Gould, 2012). To a healthy individual, most normal flora is harmless, however some…
dieting has to the commensal microbial community within the gut of crash-dieters. These microorganisms of the human gut microbiome are deeply involved in human metabolism, and hence, human health and wellness. This…
living in the gut it is called intestinal flora although it is now called intestinal microbiota, the human intestinal tract is home to a diverse and complex microbial community that plays a central role in human health, it is estimated that our gut contains the range of 1000 bacterial species and 100 times more genes found in the human genome The composition of our intestinal flora is formed during embryonic development and can be modified by factors such as diet of pregnant women, breastfeeding…
Abstract Gut microbiota is a complex bacterium located in each person’s intestine. This microbiota is unique to each of us. During previous years it has been revealed the microbiota’s influences the human’s health and diseases more than expected. In fact, scientist have found that another important reason behind obesity and metabolic disorders are the hidden and different compositions of gut microbes. Finally, based on the evidence on gut bacteria this could lead to develop new…
It has been established that the gut microbiota greatly influences human health by assisting in digestion of food, making certain vitamins, and aiding in the activation of the immune system. However, it is also essential to maintain a balanced community of microorganisms. As mentioned above many factors including antibiotics, stress, and certain diets all contribute to an imbalance in the gut microbiota termed dysbiosis (Hawrelak et al.,2004). Many illnesses such as Crohn’s Disease and…
Microbiota are microscopic organisms such as viruses, bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes that influence human health through a commensal interaction. Location of microbiota can be internal or external such as the gut, mouth, placenta, skin, and vagina. These microbes are classified into four major phyla: Firmicutes, Bacteriodetes, Actinobacteria, and Proteobacteria. Microorganisms in the Firmicute phylum are typically Gram positive bacteria, either rod-shaped or spherical and function as obligate…
reduces the amount of food the body can absorb. On 80% of his cases, the obesity condition vanishes. He decided to use this procedure on mice and he found that the Roux-en-Y caused the composition of the gut microbiome to change. Dr. Nicholson believes this explains the sudden disappearance of type 2 diabetes in people. He suspects that part of the web is regulated by the microbiome in a similar way to the formic acid role in the high blood pressure case. He concludes that the intestinal will…
