Etymologically derived from a composite of Latin preposition of ‘pro’ and the Greek word for ‘bios,’ the word ‘pro-biotic’ means ‘for-life’ or ‘bringing life;’ The term denotes a class of micro-organisms that benefits human beings and in definition by World Health Organisation (WHO) are, “Live micro-organisms which when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host.”Researchers have conceded that probiotic are small organisms that help maintain the natural balance of organisms (micro flora) in the intestines. It is researched that the normal human digestive tract contains about 400 types of bacteria that reduce the growth of harmful bacteria and promote a healthy digestive and immune system. The largest group of probiotic bacteria in the intestine is lactic acid bacteria of which Lactobacillus acidophilus found in yogurt is best known. Probiotics are considered safe because they are bacteria that already are part of the normal digestive system.
General interest in the relevance and utility of probiotics fashioned out in the early 1900s when Russian biologist Ilya Ilyich Mechnikov also known as Élie Metchnikoff, who is renowned for his pioneering research into the human system, proposed that consumption of fermented milk boosted with lactobacilli can help in longevity of life.
While he proposed basic ideations on the same, it has been recent groundbreaking studies and experimentations into the field which have opened doors for better understanding of the co-relation between healthy micro-organisms and human immunity. While understanding the health benefits as derived from the consumption of healthy food, scientists have now come to a point wherein the suitability of micro-organisms and their health benefits have been fully understood of.
Research has now showed that the intake of probiotic helps enhance body immunity while boosting up the body’s microbial profile which leads onto a healthy life. With this advancement, healthier food vendors are incorporating the healthy nutrients into their retinue of products which help the consumers reach a point where they can have healthy food intakes. By incorporating these healthy probiotics, an enhanced level of health-consciousness can be achieved wherein the influx of healthy nutrients like Lactobacillus acidophilus can help boost the probiotic food range.
