Pointing out that prebiotics and probiotics are extras in the health of the digestive system, Dietician Gözde Karaca Kayan said, “The health of our microbiota, which ensures the continuity of our life cycle and is disturbed by stress and irregular nutrition, is hidden in postbiotics! By consuming fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, tarhana, pickled vegetables and sauerkraut frequently, you can make more room for postbiotics in your life.”

ISTANBUL (TR) - Stating that pre-pro-post biotics have a great function for a healthy digestive system and strengthening immunity, Dietician Gözde Karaca Kayan pointed out that body health is based on the triangle formed by biotics. Gözde Karaca Kayan made the following assessment on the subject: “Prebiotics, the nutrient source of beneficial microorganisms in our intestines, regulate the digestive system and ensure the regular functioning of the intestines. Probiotics, which are micro-organisms that make friends with our body, fight against bad bacteria in the digestive system and support the strengthening of the immune system. Moreover, they are very effective in providing weight control. Postbiotics, on the other hand, go one step further and ensure the continuity of the effects of probiotics, putting the final point for a healthy digestive system. Studies show that insufficient pre-pro-post biotics have an effect on many health problems, from diabetes to cancer.”

The health of the microbiota is shaped in the hands of postbiotics

Dietitian Gözde Karaca Kayan stated that postbiotics play the leading role in the microbiota formed by microorganisms such as viruses, parasites and fungi with which we share our body, with their function of improving intestinal functions. Now we all know that probiotics, when taken in adequate amounts, affect our health positively by regulating and improving the microbiota. In addition to probiotics, an important issue in shaping the microbiota is postbiotics. By consuming fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, tarhana, pickled vegetables and sauerkraut frequently, you can make more room for postbiotics in your life.

Stress disrupts the balance of the microbiota

Gözde Karaca Kayan, who stated that Hippocrates, who is known as the father of medicine, drew attention to the microbiota issue in the period before Christ with the words “All diseases begin in the intestine, if the intestine is sick, the rest of the body is also sick”, said “Our body is a complex environment where microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi are also sheltered. "Our microbiota content begins to form right after birth. It is shaped by genetic factors, birth type, diet and environmental factors. Irregular and inadequate nutrition, stress and the use of certain drugs disrupt the balance of the microbiota.”

Prevents inflammation and diabetes, balances blood pressure

Gözde Karaca Kayan, who stated that the studies show that postbiotics support the health of the microbiota, said, “Recent studies show the effects of postbiotics as an antioxidant source, preventing inflammation and diabetes, and controlling blood pressure. Postbiotics, which are metabolite by-products secreted from living bacteria or produced as a result of decomposition, play a key role in maintaining a healthy life cycle.”
