We named them \u201cBacterial Flora\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\">We were then advised to go soft on antibiotics, as they destroyed our friendly gut bacteria and changed the ecosystem<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\">Scientists call them microbes, and a group that includes bacteria, viruses, bacteroid, and fungi in the gut- was given the name Microbiota and microbiomes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\">They are found not only in your gut but also your skin, mouth, nose and other openings<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\">Each microbiome includes over 10, trillions of microbial species, all interacting with one another.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\">In toto there are over 100 trillion of bacteria, viruses and fungi in your gut.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\">They keep bad bacteria in check and looks after your health and wellbeing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\">In the human gut, microbes not only aid digestion, but also affect obesity, allergies, immunity and even brain development;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\">Beyond people&#8217;s bodies, these microorganisms have created the Earth&#8217;s oxygen-rich atmosphere, and, also enable plant and ocean life to thrive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\">The number of bacteria in our gut outnumbers the total number of cells in our body. We have 100 trillion cells in our body.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\">There is an estimated 1 kilogram of bacteria within each average human adult.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\">One gram of your faeces contains a greater number of bacteria than there are humans on the planet\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\">Our microbes could be the key to our future health<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\">Microbiota- those microscopic organisms in our gut play a vital role in keeping us healthy. Some microbes secrete molecules like the Bifidobacterium which digests dietary fibre in the colon, produces short-chain fatty acids that stimulates the growth of the immune cells that control inflammation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff; font-size: 24px;\">Eating foods with high dietary fibre like the veggies seems to prevent large bowel inflammatory diseases like ulcerative colitis, Crohn\u2019s disease and some forms of cancer and these microbes seem to assist in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff; font-size: 24px;\">A vaginal microbe, Lactobacillus feeds on sugars and produce lactic acid, which discourages other bacteria that gives vaginal infections.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff; font-size: 24px;\">Knowing which sorts of microbes are normally found in healthy people can help us understand the roles that changes in microbe<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff; font-size: 24px;\">populations play in disease -said Dr. Curtis Huttenhower, associate professor of computational biology in the Department of Biostatistics at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 28px;\">Why microbial diversity is important<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\">Diversity is the key to beneficial microbial populations. Not only does a wider array of microbes mean a greater variety of bacterial by-products for body cells to use, it also leaves less territory for disease-causing bacteria to occupy. That\u2019s why the new approach to microbes is directed at maintaining a healthy balance of germs throughout the body.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\"><strong>The gut response<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\">Foods affect our health in two ways\u2014through the fats, carbohydrates, proteins, and other nutrients they pro-vide, and through the bacteria that break them down in the intestine. Early research indicates that a diet high in saturated fat increases the proportion of one phylum (major group) of bacteria, Firmicutes, to that of another phylum, Bacteriodetes. A high ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteriodetes has been linked to obesity. If we eat a lot of processed foods, populations of fibre loving Bifidobacterium, which is linked with lower rates of inflammation, will shrink.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\">Our intestinal bacteria may be key to understanding why the traditional \u201cWestern diet\u201d hasn\u2019t served us very well. Studies comparing populations of intestinal<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\">microbes have indicated that people eating a traditional Mediterranean diet or a traditional Asian diet\u2014both of which are plant-based\u2014have a greater diversity of intestinal bacteria and a higher proportion of beneficial bacteria than Americans and Europeans whose diets are heavier in red meat, sugars, and other refined carbohydrates, and lighter in fruits and vegetables. Westerners also have a higher rate of obesity, cardiovascular disease, and colon cancer.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Avoid unnecessary antibiotics<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\">Too many antibiotics are prescribed for minor ailments especially among kids. This can harm by destroying the beneficial bacteria in your gut. You should check whether the infection is caused by bacteria or a virus.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\"><strong>How does a baby get those beneficial bacteria when just born for good health?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\">When the baby enters the world through the birth canal gets a coating of vaginal microbes. These bacteria protect the baby from skin and gut infections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\">On the other hand, those babies born by Calcarean section miss out on these beneficial microbes and are exposed to infections, unfortunately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\">There is a war going on in our gut between the good bugs and the bad germs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\">Good bacteria reward our dietary choices by producing metabolites for a healthy gut &amp; well being<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\">Eating the right foods is important to keep our good bacteria in harmony and they in return will reciprocate good bowel &amp; general health<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\">This is where you need to take prebiotics and probiotics daily to keep your good bacteria happy<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #0000ff;\">Reference -articles by Alanna Collen &amp; Alan Brown<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your Best Friends are in your Gut &#8211; By Dr Harold Gunatillake Working Script Fifty years ago, and prior, we knew that we had good bacteria in our gut.
