As age increases, the flora in the body of middle-aged and elderly people begins to become imbalanced. The number of beneficial bacteria is declining, while the number of intermediate and pathogenic bacteria will gradually increase. Various diseases begin to occur at a high rate. At this time, if you can regularly supplement probiotics Bacteria can help "young" the intestines and contribute to the healthy life of middle-aged and elderly people.
Physiological and intestinal characteristics of old age
In old age, the number of probiotics in the body decreases significantly, and coupled with reduced resistance, intestinal infections are more likely to occur. Therefore, the elderly need to supplement probiotics.
Use bacteria to nourish the intestines Use bacteria to treat bacteria
With the rise of microecological theory, medicine has moved from the antibacterial era to the bacterial era. "Treating bacteria with bacteria" means colonizing beneficial bacteria in the intestines, inhibiting the reproduction and proliferation of harmful bacteria, and bringing the human body to a healthy state. A large number of studies and medical practices have found that microecological preparations made from probiotics such as intestinal Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, and Streptococcus faecalis can effectively supplement human intestinal Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, and Streptococcus faecalis and regulate the intestinal tract. The microecological balance exerts health care functions and makes the intestines 'younger'.
What are the health effects of probiotics on the elderly?
◆Help synthesize essential vitamins for the human body;
◆Probiotics produce butyric acid, acetic acid, and other antibacterial substances;
◆Bifidobacterium can prevent the synthesis of carcinogen-nitrosamines;
◆Accelerate intestinal peristalsis and prevent the occurrence of colorectal cancer;
◆Can directly absorb cholesterol and reduce the risk of coronary heart disease;
◆Reduce the adverse reactions caused by radiotherapy.
British nutrition experts advocate that people over the age of 60 should take probiotics every day to supplement the "good" bacteria in the body and keep the beneficial bacteria at a high level, thereby inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria and reducing the incidence of intestinal infections.
"Beneficial" bacteria can also promote digestion, reduce toxin production, reduce gastrointestinal dysfunction, help intestinal peristalsis, and effectively improve senile constipation. In addition, probiotics may prevent intestinal disease and reduce the risk of colon cancer.
