HOW DO INTESTINAL BACTERIA AFFECT YOUR HEALTH, BRAIN, AND ANGET?
Popular topics of recent days are intestinal bacteria, microbiology, our mental health and its connection. The fact that our intestines are our second brain.
Could these bacteria affect our cravings, our mood, decide what to eat and lead us into obesity?
There are about 100 trillion bacteria in this microorganism called microbiota. Their total weight is around 2-3 kg, which is about 2-3% of our body weight. The genetic material of microbiota is called microbioma. However, these two terms are often used in the same sense.
Research on this topic in many countries suggests that these bacteria need some food groups to survive. For example, some bacteria can be fed with fat and others with carbohydrates. Not only do these bacteria compete for food in our digestive system, they all have a different purpose.
Could these bacteria influence our decisions by signaling the intestinal microbiome? Because the intestines are connected to the immune system, endocrine system and nervous system, so these signals may affect our physical and mental reactions.
Of course, this situation is bilateral. By changing what we eat, we can also change the effects of these bacteria on us (within 24 hours). Our diet is very effective on microbiome.
Research also says that intestinal bacteria through the vagus nerve affect our food choices. Bacteria are capable of affecting neural signals and taste receptors in the gastric nerve, producing toxins that make us feel bad, or secreting chemicals that make us feel good.
The rate of change of the microbiome can encourage us to change the types of microbes and to improve our health. This can also be achieved by adding different kinds of bacteria to food and food supplements via probiotics.
Microbioma can be easily manipulated with prebiotic, probiotic and nutritional changes. Making the microbiome healthier helps prevent many diseases related to obesity, diabetes, cancer, digestion and the immune system.
This community of microbes that live within us has an indisputable importance in maintaining body functions and staying healthy. In addition to affecting our appetite, the microbiota plays an important role in the digestion of foods, the support of the immune system, the production of certain vitamins, intestinal health, the prevention of inflammation, the maintenance of ideal body weight, and the fulfillment of various body functions such as brain activities. They are an integral part of our bodies. Rapidly increasing studies in recent years give clues that microbiota-related problems may play a role in the following diseases:
Asthma
Autism
Cancer
Celiac disease
Colitis
Diabetes
Skin disorders such as eczema, acne, rosacea, urticaria
Heart disease
Obesity and Weight Increase
Sensitive Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Food allergies / sensitivity
Common colds, sinusitis, bronchitis
Low energy
Chronic fatigue
Brain diseases (Alzheimer's, autism, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, migraine, depression, anxiety, thought blur)
Autoimmune diseases - can be triggered by systemic inflammation of the intestinal wall (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis)
Candida proliferation
As always, I would like to remind you once again about the impact of your diet on your health. To be healthy is in your hands and your responsibility…
I wish you all a healthy day.
