Who would have known? Breast milk enhances the growth of beneficial intestinal flora
Adding even more difficult at the insistence of Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride breastfeeding is crucial in helping to normalize microflora baby (and hence protection against diseases and disorders of development), the first study of its kind on breast milk and impact or infant intestinal flora provides new insights into why the mother's breast milk is better than synthetic to protect newborns against infectious diseases.
Study author William Parker, explained that breast milk appears to promote a healthy biofilm colonization [biofilm - biofilm formed by the same type of microorganism, which allows in helping and communicating] beneficial. Previous research has already established that breast milk reduces diarrhea, flu and respiratory diseases in children, and that lowers the risk that they may develop allergies, type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis and other diseases.
According to experts from Duke University:
"This study is the first that we know examines the effects of infant nutrition on how bacteria grow, providing information on the mechanisms underpinning the benefits of maternal breastfeeding versus formula milk sintentic to new babies," said William Parker, PhD, professor associate of surgery at Duke and lead researcher.
Only breast milk appears to promote a healthy colonization of beneficial biofilms, and these insights suggest that there may be potential approaches for developing substitutes that could better simulate these benefits in cases that can not be given milk. "
Researchers bacteria grown on samples of three popular brands of formula milk and soy infant breast milk and cow milk. All samples were incubated with two strains of beneficial bacteria E. coli (E. coli cause disease although some violent, other "cousins" fulfill roles actually helpful). Although bacteria have multiplied rapidly in all three specimens, there was a major difference. If breast milk, bacteria biofilms formed while whole milk bacteria and various powdered infant formula milk increased as individual organisms and have failed to form a biofilm.
This is really important. Biofilms are essentially "foil" thin, sticky joining your intestinal wall, where they serve as a shield, effectively blocking pathogens and infectious. This is an essential part of "healing and seal" your intestines gaps protocol that achieves the dr. Campbell-McBride's.
According to Duke University:
"... This study adds weight to a set of evidence that breast milk is the most nutritious way to feed a baby, wherever possible this way," said Gabriela M. Maradiaga Panayotti, PhD, co-director a nursery for newborns at Duke Children and Duke Primary Care (first Aid department). "We know that infants who are breastfed in the womb have better results in many ways, and breastfeeding mothers also have improved health, including reducing breast cancer risk. Whenever possible, promote maternal breastfeeding is the best option for mother and child. "
How to optimize your intestinal flora
A healthy diet is the ideal way to maintain a healthy intestinal flora, as well as regular consumption of traditional fermented or cultured foods, is the easiest way to ensure your optimal intestinal flora. Healthy options include:
Fermented vegetables (pickled) of all kinds (cabbage, carrots, cabbage kale / created, lettuce, celery seasoned with ginger and garlic)
Kombucha (a fungus)
Lassi (Indian drink made of yogurt consumed traditional before dinner)
Natto (fermented soy-Japanese recipe)
Tempeh (fermented soy-Indonesian recipe)
Kim chee (Korean pickled cabbage-prescription)
Make sure you stay away from pasteurized versions, because pasteurization destroys many of the naturally occurring probiotics. For example, most yogurts "probiotics" that you find in any grocery store are not recommended. As are pasteurized, they will be associated with all sorts of issues related to pasteurized dairy products. They also typically contain sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, dyes and / or artificial sweeteners - all substances that are harmful to health.
Eating fermented traditional and these things will give you extra health benefits:
Nutrients: some fermented foods are excellent sources of essential nutrients such as vitamin K2, which is important for preventing the formation of arterial plaque and heart disease. You can also get vitamin K2 you need (200 micrograms) daily eating 15 grams of natto. This food is powerful producer of many of the B vitamins
Optimizing your immune system: Probiotics are proven immune responses by modulating the immune system of the intestinal mucosa, and also have anti-inflammatory potential. Eighty percent of the immune system is located in your digestive system, making healthy gut a crucial point if you want to keep your health at its best, as a robust immune system is your number one defense against all diseases.
Detoxification: fermented foods are some of the best binders available. The beneficial bacteria in these foods are very powerful detoxifying able to eliminate a wide range of toxins and heavy metals
Cost effective: fermented foods may contain 100 times more than a probiotic supplement, thus adding a small amount of fermented foods each meal, will provide maximum benefit for your money
The variety of natural microflora: How long will diversify traditional fermented foods and prepared you eat, you will get a wide variety of beneficial bacteria than you get from any supplement
When you start, you will consume little, adding half a tablespoon of fermented vegetables at every meal, and gradually you reach about half a cup of fermented vegetables or other foods traditionally treated from one to three meals a day. As such treaties are powerful detoxifying foods, you may experience detoxification symptoms or "healing crisis", if you put too much time.
If an option is not fermented foods, probiotics supplements and natural enzymes are always a good choice. They are found in herbal stores.
