This Sunday, a new medical program “Sveikas rytojus” will begin on TV8 television, with four presenters at the helm: Dr. Irena Pivoriūnienė, plastic surgeon, one of the founders of Fi Clinica, Vygintas Kaikaris, family doctor Raimonda Plioplytė and VšĮ “Head by the illusionist Arvydas Stonys.
The section “The Power of Nature and Science” sponsored by Arvydas Stonis talks about the connection between immunity and gut health. According to doctors, more than 80 percent. the defenses of the immune system arise in the intestine because it is not the cleanest part of the human body. But such contact of good and bad gut bacteria is not always harmful because it trains the immune system.
“It has been observed that in the last 50 years, not only has the climate warmed, but the diversity of the human gut microbiota has also decreased. The number of bacteria has remained similar, but their diversity has decreased. Each bacteria “trains” our immune system, and the fewer bacteria, the less “training” takes place. The immune system needs to recognize a lot and the gut contains 60 percent. of all immune cells, it is the main immune organ, “said gastroenterologist Prof. Vaidotas Urbonas.
A microbiota is a set of microorganisms that create a special environment in the human intestine. According to doctors, the intestine has its own nervous system, so when its activity is interrupted, a person’s well-being deteriorates. Even certain diseases, such as allergies, obesity, oncological diseases, are known to depend on microbes that live in the human intestine.
“The intestine is of great importance both for the development of a child and for the health of an adult. The intestine is a huge organ that produces enzymes, hormones, nutrients, food is broken down, absorbed and is home to thousands of millions of bacteria.
The intestinal microbiota is one of the most studied organs, since many in the intestine see the appearance of various diseases that develop in the future: chronic, autoimmune, allergic, oncological diseases. The intestine is very important in the development of immune function, “said Prof. Vaidotas Urbonas.
The beneficial bacteria that live in the human intestine ensure proper intestinal function. Numerous clinical trials have shown that poor intestinal microflora disrupts immune regulation, increases susceptibility to infection, and chronic inflammation.
Journalist and presenter Renata Šakalytė-Jakovleva says that she often experiences a lot of stress at work, so sometimes she’s not even surprised that her body starts pounding as a result.
“I am a person with many activities, a lot of work and sometimes those situations are such that you do not always have time to eat on time, that the food is not always balanced. Of course, all these things sooner or later affect the general well-being and especially the digestive system, the intestinal function, ”said Renata.
Improving intestinal function and therefore strengthening the immune system can be achieved by including probiotics in the diet. According to the researchers, a special blend of five strains of lactobacillus probiotic bacteria with prebiotic inulin and vitamin D3 helps restore gut health and maintain immunity, helping the body suppress chronic inflammation and even cancer.
It should be mentioned that probiotics, when used in combination with anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer polyphenols, which are abundant, as in dietary supplements with broccoli, pomegranate, green tea and turmeric evaluated in Pomi-T clinical trials, provide even more Synergistic benefits for the body.
“Probiotics are treated as food supplements to help overcome functional bowel disorders that persist after infectious diseases, if there is irritable bowel syndrome, after the use of antibiotics,” said a gastroenterologist, head of the Center for Hepatology, Gastroenterology and Dietology from VUL Santara. Clinics Jonas Valantinas.
Renata Šakalytė also says that she has felt the benefits of probiotics for gut health. Already this summer, she began to experience symptoms of gut health problems that quickly disappeared with the addition of probiotics and polyphenolic supplements to her diet.
“I really realize that if you just expect more stress, more important work, the body responds. At the end of July, they rubbed my entire forehead and, since I know that my forehead is a mirror of my stomach and intestines, I started taking probiotics and it all worked for me in just a few weeks.
I strive to consume scientifically proven and reliable products.
“It often happens that I choose foreign products, you can find a lot of information about them, and here I have recently read research by English scientists on probiotics and polyphenols,” said Renata.
