In recent years, probiotics have become the focus of attention, and many merchants have also used this as a selling point to launch a variety of probiotic products. However, we need to recognize that probiotics are not a panacea.
First, we need to understand the basic concept of probiotics. Probiotics are microbial strains that are live, in sufficient quantities, and beneficial to the host. These cultures regulate the balance of intestinal flora and promote digestive and immune system health.
In the market, we see a lot of probiotic products such as yogurt, drinks, capsules, etc. The types and amounts of probiotics contained in these products vary, but the number of live bacteria in most products is not guaranteed. In addition, the type and quantity of probiotics can also be affected by storage conditions, such as temperature, light, etc. Therefore, we need to pay attention to the production date, shelf life and storage conditions of probiotic products when purchasing them.
In addition, the effect is not the absolute reason, it is too much loss, and a bottle of probiotic drink is lost all the way from production to drinking into people's mouths. When purchasing, the ideal situation is to take out the probiotic drink from the supermarket refrigerator shelf, keep it cold all the way, avoid direct sunlight, and immediately put it in the refrigerator when you get home, and the temperature is controlled at 2 6. It's not easy to achieve. After entering the human body, human saliva contains a small amount of lysozyme, which can kill some probiotics;To the stomach, the pH of gastric acid is 09~1.5. It is an out-and-out strong acid, and pepsin will also consume a large number of probiotics;When it reaches the intestines, the environment here is slightly improved, and the pH value becomes weakly acidic, but the amount of bile, pancreatic enzymes, and lipases in it will cause the number of probiotics to decrease, and the number of live bacteria reaching the intestines is basically less than 001%
3 The digestive tract consumes probiotics.
It's also important to note that while probiotics have health benefits, not everyone needs additional supplementation. Only when symptoms such as diarrhea or digestive disorders occur, intestinal probiotic preparations need to be supplemented under the guidance of a doctor. For healthy people, the probiotics needed can be supplemented by adjusting their diet. For example, consuming fermented foods that contain probiotics, such as yogurt, kimchi, etc.
Finally, we need to be clear that probiotics are not a panacea. We should maintain good health by eating a balanced diet, regular work and rest, and exercising moderately. If you experience symptoms of physical discomfort, you should seek medical attention and follow the advice of your doctor.
