The total number of probiotics in humans has reached more than one trillion billion, and there are more than 400 types. Even with so much in the human body, we find that the probiotics in the human body are still decreasing. If the number of probiotics in the body is reduced, it will lead to an imbalance of the intestinal flora, and various intestinal problems are the manifestation of the imbalance of the flora. Nowadays, more and more intestinal diseases also prove that the probiotics in the human body are not enough. What are the reasons for the decrease in probiotics in the body?
Why do probiotics in the human body decrease?
1. Normal metabolic death
Although there are many probiotics in the human body, their lifespan is very short. Waiting for the end of life of probiotics will lead to normal death. If the probiotics cannot proliferate to the next generation before they die, the total number of probiotics in the body will decrease. Under normal circumstances, it is necessary to eat more whole grains to stimulate the proliferation of probiotics, and dietary fiber in it can stimulate the proliferation of probiotics. If you don't like to eat whole grains, you can directly supplement with probiotics.
2. Killed by harmful bacteria
Unclean diet and eating spicy food can lead to the increase of harmful bacteria in the body and kill the harmful bacteria in the intestinal tract. Harmful bacteria enter the gut and consume our own probiotics. Over time, the further reduction of probiotics in the body will lead to insufficient probiotics. When this happens, it is recommended that you supplement with probiotics appropriately to help restore the number of probiotics in your gut.
3. Killed by antibiotics
Antibiotics are one of the great inventions of the 20th century, and the abuse of antibiotics in the 21st century has become more and more serious. Modern people tend to use too many antibiotics, and antibiotics not only kill harmful bacteria, but also kill the good bacteria in the body, leading to various side effects of intestinal problems. In this case, a large amount of probiotics is often supplemented. Generally, more than 20 billion CFU (two bags) of active probiotics are supplemented every day.
4. Diarrhea reduces probiotics
Probiotics are attached to the gut to live, and if the probiotics die, they will be excreted together with excretion. However, sometimes not only dead bacteria are excreted, but live bacteria may also be brought out of the body. If there are too many excretion times, a large amount of active probiotics in the body will be brought out of the body, resulting in a decrease in probiotics. Therefore, adding a little probiotics to diarrhea not only helps relieve diarrhea, but also replenishes the lost probiotics.
The lack of probiotics in the body will lead to an imbalance of the flora, so it is necessary to supplement probiotics in time. At present, the mainstream way of supplementing probiotics is to directly take the finished probiotic powder or capsule.
