Why probiotics and prebiotics are important for our body?




Hey guys, welcome back to my bloogg. Today I will share something about bacteria. Don’t get me wrong, this bacteria is good for our body. Its’ called probiotics. Do you want to know more about this bacteria? Yes you do!! So let’s find some more about bacteria here.
Probiotics are “good” bacteria that help keep your digestive system healthy by controlling growth of harmful bacteria. Prebiotics are carbohydrates that cannot be digested by the human body. They are food for probiotics.
 Do you know where is probiotic’s “home”? YES!! Probiotics live in yogurt, other dairy products and pills. In our body, probiotics live in our colon. So, what are prebiotics for? They help your good bacteria grow, improving the good-to-bad bacteria ratio. But where can you find prebiotic? It’s easy if you know where to look. It’s been said before that Prebiotics are carbohydrates that cannot be digested by the human body. So where is it? Of course it is in fruits and vegetables. Fruit and vegetables contain fibers which can’t be digested by our body.

Why probiotics and prebiotics are important for our body or digestion system? The healthy bacteria that live there strengthen the bowel wall, improve mineral absorption and aid in the regulation of hormone production and prebiotics fertilize these good bacteria as they stifle production of the bad and disease-causing bacteria.

Talking about fiber. Fibers that have to be consumed are more or less 25 grams a day for female and 38 grams for male. But fiber consumption is depend on your age, ok this will be a lil bit confusing guys so I’m sorry if it’s not clear hehe. Consumption of fiber is (your age + 5 until 10)grams. So for example, I’m 18 years old. I have to consume (18+5)grams or 23 grams of fiber  everyday. You can add more actually, for example my age is 18 so I can consume fiber (18+10)grams or 28 grams per day.
That’s why consuming dairy products and fibers are very important because not only for our digestion system but also for our hormone production.
I hope this post help you to understand more how important probiotics and prebiotics are for our body. See you again on my next post guys. Take care, stay healthy, live healthy and bye :)

Why vitamin C is connected with tannin?

Heeyy everybody.. Welcome back to my bloogg. Today I will share something connected (well, a lil bit) with my last post. Can you guess it? YESS it is about vitamin c. Why vitamin c is connected with tannin in tea? Let’s find out here. So vitamin c, also known as ascorbic acid, in general is a water-soluble nutrient found in some foods. In the body, it acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect cells from the damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are compounds formed when our bodies convert the food we eat into energy. So what’s the relation between vitamin c and iron? Before we go to their “relationship”, let’s talk about iron. Iron is found in food in two forms, heme and non-heme iron. Heme iron, which makes up 40 percent of the iron in meat, poultry, and fish, is well absorbed. Non-heme iron, 60 percent of the iron in animal tissue and all the iron in plants (fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts) is less well absorbed. As we know now that tannin inhibit the absorbtion of i...

        Hey guys, today I will talk about free radicals and how you can FIGHT IT in your body. I know you guys have heard a lot about free radicals but today, I want to post more but still generally about free radicals. So I hope you’ll enjoy and got more knowledge from this post J         First of all, we have to know what free radical is. Free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms with an odd (unpaired) number of electrons and can be formed when oxygen interacts with certain molecules. Once formed these highly reactive radicals can start a chain reaction. This reaction can cause cell mutation, and this cell mutation can lead to premature aging, cancer, tumor, cardiovascular and other degenerative disease depending on what cells does the cell mutation happen.       Free radicals not only from outside our body like pollution, foods usually meats, drinks, radiation and uv lights but also from stress and metabolism system in o...
