An ongoing debate in the world regarding healthy eating habits & lifestyle is : Does curd really help a person's immune system?
Experts have a view, most of the bacteria in our bodies reside in our intestines. Known as gut microbiota, they are responsible for keeping us healthy and happy. A recent research has revealed how good bacteria can help us stay healthy. The study shows that good bacteria, or the microbiota, interact with both the epithelial cells lining the gut and cells of the immune system to help balance the immune responses and protect the gut from unwanted inflammation.
A report says that Dr. Gretchen Diehl, an expert in his area, feels that significant body of work currently indicates that the microbiota
shapes the immune system and helps it to do its job. A study suggests that manipulating the microbiota to limit intestinal immune responses could have potential therapeutic benefits for conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease.
According to another recent research, a combination of vegetables like broccoli and good bacteria in our gut can help kill colorectal cancer. Further, the probiotics-veggie combination also reduced tumour numbers by 75% in mice with colorectal cancer. These probiotics could be used as prevention and to clean up the cancer cells remaining after surgical removal of tumours, the researchers said.
