Role Of Prebiotics In Promoting Healthy Bacteria

<br>Gut microflora has a critical role in providing immunity, improved digestion, and resistance to pathogenic infections.1 The gut microflora differs in composition and diversity among breast-fed and formula-fed infants.2 A major innovation is the modulation of the microflora through diet; a community of beneficial microbes can be obtained by adding prebiotics in infant feed.2 <br>

  1. ROLE OF PREBIOTICS IN PROMOTING HEALTHY BACTERIA Benefits of Prebiotics Foods PREBIOTICS AND THEIR BIFIDOGENIC EFFECT IN INFANT FEED. HARMFUL BACTERIA Gut microflora has a critical role in providing immunity, improved digestion, and resistance to pathogenic infections.1 The gut microflora differs in composition and diversity among breast-fed. PREBIOTICS Prebiotics were primitively defined as non-digestible food components that selectively stimulate the growth and/or activity of beneficial bacteria, thus improving host health. COLON MICROFLORA The colon microflora is a metabolically active and complex ecosystem with a major role in protection against exogenous and pportunistic bacteria, immunity, and overall well-being of the host ROLE OF PREBIOTICS Prebiotics foods have the potential to prevent and cure intestinal dysfunctions, inflammatory bowel disease, gastro-intestinal infections, and colon cancer. BIFIDOGENIC EFFECT OF PREBIOTIC Human milk contains several proteins such as lactalbumin and lactoferrin and non-protein nitrogen fraction that have a ‘bifidogenic effect’.6 Evidence suggests the role of oligosaccharides in human milk. www.danonenutriciaacademy.in
