THE MECHANISM OF ACTION OF BIOTICS IN DYSBIOSIS AND THE RELATIONSHIP WITH OBESITY AND ANXIETY

Abstract

The gastrointestinal tract or more exclusively, intestine, is called the second brain, because in addition to its function related to absorption, digestion, and through the vagus axis, it has direct communication with the hypothalamus and other brain systems, it has a large amount of microorganisms (about 150 times more than the human gene), in which their habitat and the set of microorganisms present is called microbiota, where these microorganisms have different functions and activities in the human body, their results have already been proven through studies show that are effective in stimulating immunity, intestinal resistance to pathogens, intestinal balance after the use of antibiotics, relief from constipation and especially pathologies very present in the current context such as psychosomatic and disorders, which usually occur due to an imbalance in the intestine, being more dysbiosis that results in the aggravation of other problems, where some are aa anxiety and obesity. The formation of the microbiota of a human being precedes birth, because from the uterus there is a colonization of microorganisms in it, and with the passage of its life the microbiota undergoes changes caused by several factors such as genetics, diet, changes in habits, pathologies. , use of drugs and others, however it can be modulated, as an inflamed microbiota causesdrastic changes to health and the consumption and use of food components such as probiotics, prebiotics and symbiotics shows great effectiveness in combating and treating these pathologies.
