I wonder whether it might be worth your while to look at this aspect and let us know if it is the case, and if not how else we can look after the gut and hence raise the potency of our IMMUNE SYSTEMS.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">With best wishes,<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Dr. Hemal Jayasuriya Ph.

They include bacteria, Bacteroides, viruses, fungi and so on. All these symbiotic inhabitants (boarders), in your large bowel, are grouped together as \u2018Microbiota\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">For the mutual co-exitance of the host and the lodgers, the latter plays an important role, such as producing vitamins and other nutrients, boosting immune system, connecting through wires with the brain to ensure good functioning of both organs. By the way, your gut is referred to as the second brain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">To keep these microbes healthy, you need to take probiotic supplements such as yogurt, pickled foods, kimchi, miso soup, kombucha, and other fermented supplementary foods, plus prebiotics such as the soluble dietary fibre and resistant starches veggies like Jerusalem artichoke, garlic, leeks onions, among others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">The prebiotics are the main diet of these microbes. They are digested through a process of fermentation, and they seem to generate short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) that are beneficial for metabolic and cardiovascular health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">SCFA have a range of beneficial effects locally in the gut mucosa (inner lining), and improved metabolic regulations and have a direct and indirect effects on cardiovascular risks and many other conditions about to be mentioned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">The most important metabolites these bacteria produce is the short-chain <em>Butyrate, acetate, and propionate.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">Butyrate in particular has been the focus of research due to its potent immune-regulating effects. It inhibits the pro-inflammatory cytokines and nitric acid production.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">Butyrate molecule has been shown in studies on mice that oral butyrate inhibits cytokine production in peritoneal macrophages, provide protection from atherosclerosis (thickening of arteries), prevents diet induced obesity and increases insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial function.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">These studies confirm the benefits of taking butyrate supplements for specific and nonspecific large bowel diseases, control obesity and reduce insulin resistance in diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">Such bacteria producing butyrate and other metabolites is referred to as the gram positive anaerobic firmicutes, some others related are <em>EU bacterium rectale\/Roseburia spp. and Faecal bacterium prausnitzii.<\/em> They produce butyrate and others by a process of fermentation. They also produce lactate, formate, hydrogen and carbon dioxide beneficial to gut health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">Diet provides the main energy source (probiotics and prebiotics) for these microbes to thrive. Resistant starch from cooked rice with some oil added and kept in the fridge overnight and consumed the next day or two, provide \u2018happy food\u2019 for these bacteria to ferment and obtain energy. In return, they produce butyrate which have its multiple benefits: one important benefit is that they keep the large bowel inner lining healthy, preventing any of the chronic diseases mentioned before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">I need to reiterate that diet containing high levels of carbs, being the staple food of Asians, mainly as cooked resistant rice leads to higher levels of bacterial fermentation in the colon which results and promoting butyrate formation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">This accounts for Asians having lesser risk of the chronic non-communicable diseases of the large gut, compared to the people who consume a Western diet containing processed meat and white bread.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">Butyrate producing bacteria represents a functional group, playing a key role in maintaining regulator of gene expression, inflammation, bacterial energy metabolism,<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">Beneficial microbes do cause problems<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">They also create detrimental effects on the cardiovascular disease risk and metabolic health, while producing the beneficial effects, mainly through your food choices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">These bacteria produce a metabolite called trimethylamine (TMA). This is produced when the gut bacteria digest choline, lecithin and carnitine that are abundant in animal products such as red meat and liver, other animal products including eggs and fish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">TMA travels through your blood stream to the liver where it is oxidised to Trimethylamine-oxide TMAO has a detrimental effect on cardiovascular and other organs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">Taking antibiotics by mouth promotes the growth of these bacteria producing this deadly metabolite.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">This metabolite also causes inflammatory processes in your large bowel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">It is a known fact that saturated fat in red meat is linked to an increased risk of heart disease. Today, research has shown that picture has gotten more complicated due to these metabolites.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">According to a news article published June 11 in JAMA, three recent analysis have linked high blood levels of TMAO being linked to higher risk of both cardiovascular disease and early death.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">Other studies have shown that there is a link between high TMAO levels and heart failure and chronic kidney disease. The more, red meat you eat your gut produces more meat-eating bacteria. Eating red meat changes the gut flora, or in other words the gut microbiota.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">When cardiac patients are admitted to the casualty in addition to doing an enzyme called troponin test for heart muscle damage, a TMAO blood levels may be important to assess the prognosis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">Vegetarians will be happy to note these findings, and the less we eat red meat is better for our health and longevity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">Bottomline:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">It is important that you need to eat a variety of foods, predominantly plant-based and high in fruit and veggies, whole grains and eat poultry, eggs, red meat or processed meat less frequently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">Taking oral butyrate supplements will benefit to improve insulin sensitivity among diabetes, for reduction in obesity, reduce atherosclerotic diseases including cardo vascular episodes and mostly to reduce the risk of large bowel issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">Hope this article was useful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">Website: <a style=\"color: #003366;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.Doctorharold.com\">www.Doctorharold.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #003366;\">Author:<strong> Dr Gunatillake-Health editor is a member of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore.
