The microbiota is a very little known concept even in the world, which is revolutionizing the field of medicine and health care. Thanks to studies of varying rigor, today it is known that hundreds of millions of microorganisms, including viruses, fungi, bacteria and parasites, live in the body that can be the answer in the fight against diseases such as obesity, colon cancer, diabetes, autism, among many others, as well as in the improvement of the immune system.
The good news is that we can change, says Dr. Pablo Pea, specialist in Orthomolecular Medicine and director of Masquelier Integrative Medicine and author of the book Microbiota: the new organ.
With the adoption of healthy habits and the balance of the microbiota of the person, it is possible to stop expressing the bad genes inherited from the ancestors and that condition different diseases.
We are not entirely determined by genetics, we can change from our own choices, said the professional.
The book Microbiota: the new organ has a didactic and practical application approach, so that readers learn to adopt personal habits that allow them to have a healthy microbiota and, consequently, a better quality of life. It also includes a series of recipes to bring a diet favorable to the microorganisms that inhabit us.
Pea affirmed that for 10 years they have been working in the clinic on how the microbiota modulates, how to improve it and all that experience of a decade was turned over to the book where the concept, the factors that affect it, how to care for it, how it affects health and the most important thing is the ideal nutrition to have the desired balance, Pea explains TODAY.
Since before birth
From the uterus, human beings have, through defense cells, contact with the maternal microbiota and from the moment they go outside they are colonized with the mothers microbiota, the sheet with which it is covered at birth, with that of father and thus they are colonizing.
Breast milk covers an essential function for proper training, it also influences whether the baby is born by cesarean section or vaginal delivery, says the professional.
He recalled that major epidemics and pandemics occurred over the centuries, the Black Death that killed millions of people, Spanish fever, polio, measles, tuberculosis, syphilis and even Covid-19, all caused by bacteria and virus.
So they have a very bad press and that there are viruses and pathogenic bacteria, they exist but the vast majority are good and help us to be healthy, the pathogens that make us sick are a small group, but because of it we generalize the concept of bad bacteria and viruses, explains Pea.
Although, biologically it cannot be classified as an organ, there is a Microbiota-intestine-brain axis; the microbiota intestine lung axis; the microbiota gut immune system axis; the microbiota intestine skin axis and others, that is, it is related to many other organs and as it was not known and the studies that were more than 70,000 in the last 15 years, made a re-discovery in Medicine.
Contribution of the Microbiota and how to develop it
Homeostasis is balance and the holobiont are the millions of living beings living together inside the human being. Their 3 million genes and our 26 thousand human genes, that is the greatest contribution, the state of balance that equals health, strong and balanced defenses, a balanced metabolism, balanced hormones and a balanced digestive and nervous system.
First we must know that the first 1000 days are everything for development (270 days of pregnancy, 365 days of the first and second year) is like planting a tree, everything is formed there. So we must take care of the Microbiota of our children, very little known by most doctors today. Second, when we go through that with a diverse diet, such as not always eating the same type of coffee with milk with bread, sugar and jam, but eating a variety of colors in fruits and vegetables, eating avocado, suckling pig, tangerine, lettuce, tomato, arugula, radish , he exemplified.
Diversity and colors four times a day and the secret when you are an adult also involves physical exercise, stress management, among other topics that are addressed in the book so that people can learn about them.
The author stressed that the launch of the book would not have been possible without the support of Editorial Dos Maletas with editor Christian Kent and producer Esteban Aguirre and his team. We did it taking advantage of the quarantine time, throughout this past 2020. It was finished printing this January at the Mercurio publishing house and has been on sale since February in the main bookstores in the country, shared Pea.
