There is an organ of the human body that is little known but of vital importance, located in the intestine, weighing one kilo, formed by trillions of microorganisms – as many as 10 times the number of our cells; an organ in constant transformation, whose balance influences our health to a massive extent. This organ, formerly known as intestinal flora, is nowadays called \u2018microbiota\u2019<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If it is altered, a phenomenon known as intestinal \u2018dysbiosis\u2019<\/strong>, it triggers numerous disorders and conditions that are typical of our times.<\/p>\n

Restoring the balance and health of the microbiota and of the entire intestinal ecosystem requires opting for a balanced diet and, in many cases, taking nutritional supplements, phytocomplexes and probiotics.<\/p>\n

Prebiotics, Probiotics, Symbiotics<\/h2>\n

A balanced microbiota needs a good diet, a healthy lifestyle and the introduction of bacteria and preparations that promote its life.<\/p>\n

The most important criteria for a diet that helps the microbiota thrive must foresee dietary fibre content, the quality and composition of foods, their content in probiotics and the absence of poisons (preservatives, colourings, sweeteners).<\/p>\n

Restoring the balance of the intestinal ecosystem requires, in many cases, taking live lactic bacteria or probiotics in the form of supplements.<\/p>\n

Since bacteria act together as a group, a probiotic mix is used to regularise the microbiota.<\/p>\n

Extensive research has shown a certain beneficial effect of probiotics in some conditions, as a barrier against pathogenic enterobacteria, reducing the symptoms related to lactose intolerance, preventing diarrhoea in children, preventing and treating diarrhoea, reducing atopic eczema, increasing the effectiveness of the immune system.<\/p>\n

Prebiotics<\/strong> are indigestible foods that promote the growth and activity of beneficial intestinal bacteria.\u00a0 The main prebiotics are mostly soluble dietary fibre, such as inulin and lactoferrin.<\/p>\n

The term Probiotics<\/strong>, of Greek origin (\u2018pro bios\u2019, \u2018that favours life\u2019), introduced in 1965 by the veterinarians Lilly and Stillwell, is used to describe live and viable microorganisms that have a beneficial effect on health, by balancing the microbiota.<\/p>\n

The term Symbiotics<\/strong> is used to describe supplements in which probiotics and prebiotics are used in combination to promote the development of a protective bacterial flora by taking advantage of their synergic action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
