    Last year, Thomson Reuters Publishing Group officially announced the prestigious Citation Laureate, which is so famous because the scientists who received the award have a good chance of winning the Nobel PrizeThis year's Citation Laureate award edited 18 scientists, all of whom are strong contenders for the Nobel Prize, with Professor Jeffrey IGordon of Washington University in StLouis, USA, at the top of the medical teamhe and his team, through long-term and detailed studies of intestinal flora, revealed a complex relationship between humans and gut microbes, and found that intestinal microbiome disorders were associated with diseases such as malnutrition, obesity and diabetesProfessor Gordon's research provides a whole new perspective for understanding the delicate relationship between gut flora and human healthgut flora, as the general name of the microbial community living in the human intestine, is one of the most interesting research focus in recent years in the fields of microbiology, medicine, genetics and so onrecent studies have revealed the composition, number, how it enters the body, how it assists digestion, how it affects intestinal development, and how the imbalance in the gut flora affects overall healthbut the intestinal flora is so large, the interaction with the human body is so complex, there are still many unresolved problems about the intestinal floraMany scientists call it another organ of the human body, or even "another you"not only that, there are more bacteria that make up "another you" than the number of cells that make up "you"!we all know that cells are the basic unit of human making up human beingsThe number of cells in an adult is about a few tens of trillions of magnitudes, or 13 zeros after 1How many cells are there in the intestinal flora? 1 back 14 zerossecond, there are more genes in the gut flora than you doalthough a single bacterium is very simple, the number of genes is far less than the complex human genes, but can not stand people's varietyThe gut flora contains 500 to 1,000 different bacteria, and the total number of genes is more than 100 times that of humans finally, the reason why the gut flora is called another you is because it is closely related to people's health, and its "joy and sorrow" can even affect every aspect of people we're going to talk about the Nobel Prize today, about the gut flora "'text-align:center;"img src""alt""""what's wrong with gut flora" title":""p style"text-align:center;"""""""top left",""top right-hand, lactobacillus, (lower-left) enterococci, (lower right) e coli ." there are three key words, gut, bacteria, group scientists who study microbes have given an easy-to-understand definition of a collective of bacteria that live in a person's gut, called an gut flora this guy is not born with human beings The fetus is in a sterile state in the womb, but after the birth of the fetus, accompanied by the first breath, the first mouth of lotion, the first mouth supplement, the ancestors of the intestinal flora, but also with food, air, water into the intestines and camp, growing the ranks, expanding the site, and eventually form a stable bacterial composition this outsider, will be with you throughout your life, will also be associated with you countless. what do gut flora? said earlier, the intestinal flora is complex, there is a wide variety of bacteria, but can still be divided into three types the first is a symbiotic flora, mainly pneumococcal bacteria, Clostridium difficile, Lactobacillus, Lactobacillus These names are very familiar with it, now all kinds of products are widespread probiotics, said to be the latter two, there are a lot of probiotics or probiotics are used to supplement or stimulate the growth of Bifidobacteria these bacteria are the largest, accounting for more than 99% of the gut flora, forming good relationships with people to aid digestion of a variety of foods and protect our gut the second is the conditional pathogenic bacteria group, mainly enterococci, E coli and so on These guys are small, but they are a destabilizing factor in the gut When the gut is healthy, symbiotic flora is overwhelmingly dominant, and the condition-causing germs are very secure, but if the symbiotic flora is destroyed, these guys can cause a variety of intestinal diseases The third is pathogenic bacteria, such as salmonella, pathogenic E coli and so on They are health destroyers, this is not the intestines, but once the wrong food into the intestines, will be up and down, leading to diarrhea, food poisoning and so on. what do gut flora? gut flora, or symbiotic flora, doesn't live in your gut and eat it in vain, it's closely related to your health first and foremost, to help you eat people are the most complex diet of all living things, meat, vegetables, grains, everything But eating is one thing, digestion and absorption is another The most important digestive organ of human being is the intestine, but in the face of such a large variety of food, even if the intestine has three heads and six arms, can not handle such a heavy work so, in the long evolutionary history of mankind, the gut brought in helpers - symbiotic flora The intestines provide them with a natural anaerobic environment as a shelter; the latter is particularly good at breaking down complex fibers and polysaccharides, giving the resulting glucose, vitamins, fats, and trace elements to the intestines as rent for absorption Both take what they take, have food to eat together, have money to earn together second, protect your health on the one hand, a large number of bacteria adhere to the intestinal wall, for the intestine spendage put on a layer of natural armor, to avoid the intestinal wall and harmful substances in direct contact On the other hand, symbiotic flora interacts with the immune system of the intestines, stimulating the development of the latter and making the intestinal "anti-missile system" of disease-causing microorganisms more powerful , symbiotic flora will also fight directly to help eliminate pathogenic bacteria because symbiotic flora and pathogenic bacteria groups are intestinal as the living environment, pathogenic bacteria invasion, directly encroaching on the site of symbiotic flora In the face of this situation, the absolute advantage of symbiotic bacteria will not naturally agree, the first time will pass the "bacteria number" advantage, suppress the power of pathogenic bacteria, in their own homes at the same time, but also protect the health of the human body again, regulate your physiology normal intestinal flora, in order to improve your living environment, that is, your gut, will break down the short-chain fatty acids nourish the intestinal wall cells, promote the growth and replacement of intestinal wall cells, but also promote the intestinal wall secretion of more digestive enzymes at the same time, they can also regulate the growth of intestinal mucosa, so that the damaged intestinal mucosa faster repair - the loss of rain in their own house is not quickly repaired In addition, the gut flora produces carotenoids that reduce the risk of atherosclerosis and stroke, and reduces allergic reactions to food by negotiating with the lymphatic system Even more amazingly, new research suggests that gut flora can regulate your physical and psychological state based on its preference for food "text-align: center;"img src""alt"""""""title"""""what's going on with gut flora" how to protect the gut flora? gut flora is not a simple bacterial community, many scientists believe that the gut flora can even be seen as another organ in the human body, need your careful care Research by Professor Jeffrey Gordon, of the University of Washington, suggests that obesity and diabetes are associated with intestinal microbiome disorders to protect the intestinal flora, the first balanced diet eat more vegetables, grains and other fiber-rich foods, not only to feed the intestinal flora, but also for the body to provide a variety of vitamins and trace elements; followed by regular rest and diet intestinal flora has also formed their own fixed biological clock and diet in the long-term run-in with the human body Many young people live irregularly, stay up all night, eat irregularly, eat a full meal, enjoy new things, long-term, intestinal flora is bound to be disordered, causing a variety of diseases can also moderate to supplement eat some of the fermented foods rich in probiotics, such as yogurt, soy products, the equivalent of the probiotics to eat, to a certain extent can also expand the intestinal symbiotic group of the team finally, the important thing is to say it three times, don't abuse antibiotics! Do not abuse antibiotics! Do not abuse antibiotics! Long-term use, abuse of antibiotics, especially broad-spectrum antibiotics, will kill symbiotics and pathogenic bacteria at the same time, on the intestinal flora seriously affected, destroy the balance of intestinal flora Therefore, it must be used on a volume of medical advice.
