Feces of newborns - abundance of bacteria!

Scientists at Wake Forest School of Medicine fed mice with bacteria from their babies' feces, and showed good results in their intestinal health.

It seems that everyone is trying to consume the daily probiotic food to balance their intestinal bacteria, from expensive kombucha to familiar pickles.

Therefore, news about a new "good" bacteria source is always welcome.

But this may be a harder food to swallow.

Infants are usually quite healthy and obviously do not suffer from age-related diseases.

Scientists have found beneficial bacteria in the stool of babies , and created a "cocktail" from it to feed rats - in which they have seen an amazingly positive effect on the intestinal health of their offspring. this mouse.

The study's lead author Hariom Yadav, assistant professor of molecular medicine at Wake Forest School of Medicine, said: 'Infants are usually quite healthy and obviously do not suffer from age-related diseases, for example. like diabetes and cancer '.

'And, of course, their droppings are always available'.

It is very unlikely that the shelves will be full of yogurt with the name 'yogurt from children' or 'kombucha from children'.

However, scientists are very excited about at least they have opened the door to a new source of bacterial strains that can help people with various diseases ruin their gut health.

Yadav said: 'Short-chain fatty acids are an important component of intestinal health.'

'People with diabetes, obesity, autoimmune disorders and cancer often have fewer short-chain fatty acids.'

'So we should strengthen the bacteriophage to find it useful in maintaining or even restoring a normal intestinal environment, and hopefully, improving health ".

Dr. Yadav's research, just published in the scientific report, forms part of the current explosion in the study of bacteria and intestinal bacteria.

New discoveries about intestinal effects on almost everything are some of the most important things made of biology over the past few decades.

We now know that the intestinal tract affects our brain health, autoimmune diseases, our sleep cycles, hormones, and more. We also know that our gut health is affected by everything - whether or not you were born in an ideal environment, how many times you have sex this week, the level How much is your stress, what are your foods.

Therefore, an ideal source of bacteria for the intestinal tract is an increasingly essential need.
