The Tiny Army For Your Gut Health

Of late, a lot of attention has been given to probiotics – the tiny live microorganisms that work by improving or restoring our gut bacteria. So, if our immune system is not up to par, then we need to fertilize our garden of microflora with probiotics. Probiotics have become an integral part of our gut health. Drastic changes in the modern way of farming and the use of GMO in our food have a negative impact on our gut microbiome. This leads to a stressed and weak gut barrier. Good probiotic strains have been proven to improve our digestive health, immune function, protect against the risk of infection, promote a healthy gut lining and reduce inflammation. The most commonly consumed probiotics are the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium genus. However, the same genus/species of probiotics do not command the same benefits on the host. It is important to identify probiotics by their specific strain to identify the health benefits of the probiotic. Each strain of probiotics has a different action on our health, including immune health.

Developing A Strong Immunity In Children

Children are always at risk of infections. Toddlers crawl on the ground, put things in their mouth and share toys with other children and pets. When they start to attend nursery and kindergarten, they become more exposed to infections through contact with other children.

Children in general, do not have an immune system as effective as adults. Their immune system is still in the development stage. When they are sick, they take longer to recover from it. Because the immune system is not fully developed until they are about 7 to 8 years old, they are more susceptible to diseases and infections such as whooping cough, ear infections, croup and food allergies, as compared to adults.

A balanced immune system starts with a good microbiota in the guts. Taking a good strain of probiotic. Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM®, the most well-researched strain of probiotic is a must-have in anyone who would like to start on a probiotic. Research has shown a great potential of L. acidophilus NCFM® in modulating and has a positive effect on the immune system. It is usually studied alongside Bifidobacterium lactis Bi-07®, which is a well-trialled probiotic strain for immunity.

A double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted on 326 children aged 3 to 5. They were randomly given either a placebo or a probiotic containing L. acidophilus NCFM® or probiotic containing a combination of L. acidophilus NCFM® and Bifidobacterium lactis Bi-07®over 6 months. The results of the study showed that both single and combination probiotics reduce the incidence of and duration of respiratory tract infection symptoms in children. Children who took the combination probiotics showed better outcomes in the respiratory symptoms. The incidences of fever were reduced by 72.7%, incidences of coughing by 62.1% and runny rose incidence declined by 58.8%. The need of antibiotics and absence from school due to illness were also reduced from 6.5 days to 3.5 days. These 2 strains of probiotics are recommended to children to protect them against respiratory infection.
