The Gut Microbiota and Respiratory Diseases: New Evidence

Journal of Immunology Research, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 2020, P. 1 - 12

Published: July 31, 2020

Human body surfaces, such as the skin, intestines, and respiratory urogenital tracts, are colonized by a large number of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, with gut being most densely extensively organ. The microbiome plays an essential role in immune system development tissue homeostasis. Gut microbiota dysbiosis not only modulates responses gastrointestinal (GI) tract but also impacts immunity distal organs, lung, further affecting lung health diseases. Here, we review recent evidence correlations underlying mechanisms relationship between common diseases, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis (CF), cancer, infection, probiotic therapeutic intervention for these

Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free Diet

Nutrients, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 13(8), P. 2877 - 2877

Published: Aug. 21, 2021

Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic autoimmune disorder of the small intestine, whose only effective treatment gluten-free diet (GFD). It characterized by atrophy intestinal villi that leads to altered nutrient absorption. This study describes nutritional imbalances which may be found in adults with CD following GFD. During first year treatment, deficiencies will overcome as mucosa recovers. Thus, biochemical data show this progression, together decrease symptoms. In contrast, long term, when strict GFD followed and mucosal recovery achieved, analyzing intake makes more sense. Macronutrient consumption its low complex carbohydrate fiber intakes, high fat (especially SFA) sugar intakes. profile has been related GFP their composition, addition unbalanced dietary habits. The most notable micronutrients are usually those iron, calcium magnesium vitamin D, E some group B. necessary follow up patients promote education among them, since it could help not achieve gluten free but also balanced diet.

Therapeutic Benefits and Dietary Restrictions of Fiber Intake: A State of the Art Review

Nutrients, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 14(13), P. 2641 - 2641

Published: June 26, 2022

Throughout history, malnutrition and deficiency diseases have been a problem for our planet's population. A balanced diet significantly influences everyone's health, fiber intake appears to play more important role than previously thought. The natural dietary fibers are category of carbohydrates in the constitution plants that not completely digested human intestine. High-fiber foods, such as fruits, vegetables whole grains, consistently highly beneficial health effectively reduced risk disease. Although mode action consumer body is fully understood, nutritionists professionals unanimously recognize therapeutic benefits. This paper presents consumption different countries, metabolism range benefits associated with intake. In addition, influence on intestinal microbiome, metabolic (obesity diabetes), neurological aspects, cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune cancer prevention discussed. Finally, restrictions excess addressed, which can cause episodes diarrhea dehydration increase likelihood bloating flatulence or even bowel obstruction. However, extensive studies needed regarding composition required amount relation saprotrophic microorganisms from enteral level various pathologies they be correlated.

Environmental Influences on the Human Microbiome and Implications for Noncommunicable Disease

Annual Review of Public Health, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 42(1), P. 277 - 292

Published: April 1, 2021

The human microbiome contributes metabolic functions, protects against pathogens, educates the immune system, and through these basic directly or indirectly, affects most of our physiologic functions. Here, we consider its relationship to several major noncommunicable conditions, including orodigestive tract cancers, neurologic diseases, diabetes, obesity. We also highlight scope contextual macroenvironmental factors (toxicological chemical environment, built socioeconomic environment) individual microenvironmental (smoking, alcohol, diet) that may push microbiota toward less healthy more influencing development diseases. Last, current uncertainties challenges in study environmental influences on implications for understanding disease, suggesting a research agenda strengthen scientific evidence base.

Overview of the distinctive characteristics of strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry in berries, berry wines, and berry spirits

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 23(3)

Published: April 29, 2024

Abstract Red berries have gained popularity as functional and nutritious food due to their health benefits, leading increased consumer demand higher production, totaling over 11,000 ktons for strawberries, raspberries, blueberries combined in 2021. Nutritionally, present high levels of vitamin C (9.7–58.8 mg/100 g dry weight [dw]), folates (6–24 µg/100 dw), minerals (96–228 dw). Due perishable nature, producers utilized alcoholic fermentation extend shelf life, not only increasing the lifespan red but also attracting consumers through production novel beverages. Strawberry, blueberry, raspberry wines possess low alcohol (5.5–11.1% v/v), acidity (3.2–17.6 g/L), interesting bioactive molecules such phenolic compounds, carotenoids, polysaccharides, melatonin. Distillation holds tremendous potential reducing waste by creating berry spirits exceptional quality. Although research on is still early stages, future studies should focus characterization. By incorporating these factors, chain would become more sustainable, profitable, efficient waste, capitalizing acceptance, leveraging natural health‐promoting characteristics products. Therefore, this review aims provide a comprehensive overview strawberry, berries, wines, spirits, with chemical composition methods.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a chronic functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by abdominal pain associated with defecation or change in bowel habits. Gut microbiota, which acts as real organ well-defined functions, mutualistic relationship the host, harvesting additional energy and nutrients from diet protecting host pathogens; specific alterations its composition seem to play crucial role IBS pathophysiology. It well known that can significantly modulate intestinal microbiota profile but it less how different nutritional approach effective patients, such low-FODMAP diet, could be responsible of changes, thus influencing presence (GI) symptoms. The aim this review was explore effects protocols (e.g., traditional advice, gluten-free etc.) on IBS-D symptoms variations both patients healthy subjects. To date, an ideal protocol does not exist for seems consider effect approaches better define efficient strategy manage disorder.
