Yogurt is the way- able to stop heart attack



Human gut is resident to hundred trillion micro organisms of one thousand five hundred species. What’s the meaning of human? It’s a general question though its answer is complex. Because our cells are not human at all. For staying alive we depend on a vast army of microbes. A friendly microbiome break down food to release energy, protects us against germs and produces vitamins. 



Our digestive-system alone is home to roughly Hundred trillion microbes – approx. Ten times the no. of cells in the major organs. A team of the FIB- (Flemish Institute of Biotechnology) has found that we all have 1 of 3 basic ecosystems of bugs in guts of us - but its strange that, the type for each person is not related to their race, native diet or country. They mark these “bacteriodes”  the “enterotypes”, “ruminococcus” and “prevotella”, to reflect the species of bug that command in each. Human with a ecosystem of bacteriodes, as an example, have a oblique toward bacteria that acquire almost of their energy from proteins and carbohydrates. 



This revelation has inspired very a lot of interest, cause it could describe differences in our food digest ability. Few years ago, a team of Washington University school of Medicine discovered that the guts of obese people bear a slightly other repertoire of microbes when equated with thin people. In the Flemish analyze, research workers detected a similar correlation between abundance and obesity of bacteria that express energy rapidly from food.



Imperial College London’s Professor Jeremy Nicholson, doubts that the newest find is of huge biologic significance, since the 3 enterotypes possibly have same capabilities and roles. Till now he thinks that one day, it may be possible to organize enterotypes, which could be used  to advance the number of calories expressed from deficient diets by developing countries children’s.




Don’t think that it will be easy. The human bowel bears about one thousand five hundred bacterial species, and so tinkering on their ecology in a controlled way may be difficult. Though there are products that claim to control bacteria, such prebiotics, like yogurts that contain live becteria and microbes.Till now we realise insufficient to do this faithfully.


Recognition of Micro biome’s importance is growing. It’s already involved to our understanding of cancer, diabetes, obesity and allegies. Few days ago, a study has approved that the levels and types of bacteria in a human’s gut may be apply to predict the likelihood of their heart attack too. To treatment and prevention of such attacks it’s a revolutionary milestone.


As a part of experiment, the study team separate groups of rats in three to induced heart attack. The 1st one was a standard diet. The 2nd was antibiotic a bacterium to suppresses the production of a leptin hormone that is linked to metabolism and appetite.


Associate medical director at the British Heart Foundation Professor Jeremy Pearson, stresses that lots of research may be required to prove the dramatic changes in inflammatory molecules that seen in the rats would use to human. But little doubt that, in near future we’ll prove dramatic new insight on our health by studying our microbial passengers.
