Document Summary
Human genome is composed of 23,000 genes: human microbiome 1,000,000+ genes. A good microorganism- strain of ecoli in gut. Probiotics: living microorganisms when conferred in sufficient amount on the host, will render beneficial effects on health, get them from the mother when born, breast milk, lactobacillus, candida, streptococcus, enterococcus, Get good probiotics from probiotic products (yogurt: alcohol not a good source. What do they do: help maintain balance of microflora in gut, reduce harmful bacteria, relieve diarrhea and constipation, strengthen immune system, increase availability pf vitamins and nutrient, improve lactose intolerance, lowers ph in gut. Benefits: improve mental health, improve mouth and teeth health, improve skin, improve lung health, improve heart health, liver health, stomach health, reduce digestive discomfort, increase nutrient absorption. Eubiosis (good co-existance: host and microflora live with mutual benefit, finely regulated equilibrium. Causes of imbalance in microflora: change in ph, change in diet, stress, new environment, sickness, antibiotics. Dysbiosis (bad co-existence: antibiotics- kills bacteria.
