Probiotics are living organisms that are beneficial for life and are beneficial when taken in sufficient amounts. They play a role in the healthy functioning of our immune system, digestive and excretory systems. Bacteria settled in our organs such as skin, mouth and intestines are called "MICROBIOTA". About 85 percent of the microbiota are beneficial microorganisms. About 15 percent are opportunistic bacteria that harm the body when the immune system is weakened. The balance of the number of beneficial and non-beneficial microorganisms is called "PREBIOSIS", and the disruption of the balance of the system is called "DYSBIIOSIS".
All spaces in our body, starting from our mouth to our excretory organ, are covered with a membrane called mucosa. The microorganisms living in these membranes vary from place to place. Although it shows, it is generally the same. The mouth flora is affected by the change in the intestinal flora, and when the flora or microbiome of the mouth changes, harmful bacteria multiply, our body's defense system is damaged, gum diseases, tooth decay, dental stones occur, canker sores occur frequently, and this is a result of the weakened immune system after the intestinal flora disorder. is a symptom. Without treating the intestinal disorder, gum treatments often tend to recur, so in addition to mechanical debridement in gum treatment, treatment with probiotics is supported. Especially if antibiotics have been given, probiotic support is important. Because antibiotics eliminate all bacteria, good or bad, and then pathogenic bacteria multiply again. The decrease in our probiotic bacteria causes various health problems
1- Gas, bloating, indigestion, reflux.
2- Diarrhea or constipation attacks.
3- Immune strength. weakening and increasing infections.
4-Depression, Parkinson's, fibromyalgia.
5-Obesity.
6-Disruption of cholesterol and sugar balance.
7-Increase in allergies and dermatitis.
8- Bad breath.
9- Constant fatigue is one of the most common symptoms.
Important probiotics are Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species. this bacteria It is found in fermented foods such as home-made yoghurt, kefir, sauerkraut, boza, turnip, tarhana. Foods that create a suitable environment for the nutrition of probiotics are called Prebiotics. Examples of prebiotic foods are leeks, yams, celery, okra, bananas and beets.
The immune system protects our body from diseases, It is our defense system that protects against pathogenic bacteria and virus attacks. Strengthening our immune system protects us from viral and chronic infections. Our need for beneficial probiotic microorganisms to strengthen the immune response and the body's defense soldiers such as macrophages and neutrophils is becoming more evident day by day. Probiotics are the building blocks of the immune system. The more beneficial bacteria we have in our body, the more resistant we are, especially against viral diseases. 85 percent of the happiness hormone Serotonin is produced by probiotics in the intestines, and in this way probiotics manage to protect us from depression. If we want to live healthy, we should consume plenty of vinegar, sauerkraut, home-made yoghurt, kefir, artichoke, onion, garlic, Jerusalem artichoke, and keep an eye on our probiotics.
