Perga – a valuable product for strengthening the intestinal bacterial population

In recent years, the microbiome has been the focus of many disciplines such as molecular medicine, genetics, microbiology, etc. as a focal point. Today it is known that the body's bacterial strain affects not only general health but also the prediction, diagnostics, treatment and prevention of various diseases.'

The importance of the human microbiome has been studied a lot in medicine, and in addition to diseases of the digestive tract, other systems of the body have also been examined. The body's bacterial population has been linked to metabolic diseases, cardiovascular diseases, allergic diseases, autoimmune diseases, cancers, etc. In addition, gut bacteria are connected to mental and psychological health. Changes in the digestive tract and its microbiome can cause anxiety, stress and even depression. Changes in life can also affect the other direction – a person's emotional and psychological state can affect the digestive tract. Human microbiome is made up of organisms such as bacteria, fungi and viruses. This microbial community is very important to our health because it affects the functioning of our immune system. A diverse strain of bacteria and fungi creates a healthy microbiome, and it must be able to adapt to the environment. On the other hand, a changed microbiome in which harmful bacteria and fungi have proliferated is called dysbiosis. Dysbiosis caused by ageing, environment, diet and medications can cause health problems. The use of antibiotics, proton pump inhibitors, anti-inflammatory drugs and antipsychotic drugs can increase the risk of dysbiosis.

There is no "correct" microbiota for all people, as it varies individually among different groups of people, such as age, gender, ethnicity, and other factors. Each individual's microbiome is unique and can change during life. Microbes begin to form in the digestive tract from birth and factors such as the method of delivery and early childhood nutrition influence their formation. Later in life, environmental factors such as lifestyle and diet affect the gut microbiome. Diet is one of the most important factors in terms of the gut microbiome.

People around the world have been using products containing probiotics, such as yogurt, sauerkraut and kombucha, for centuries, although they may not have even been aware of their health effects. Fermented products such as cheeses and beer have been part of the diet of many cultures since ancient times. Probiotics are microorganisms that can have positive effects on health when used in the right amounts. Bacteria of the genera Lactobacillus and Bifido and the yeast Saccharomyces boulardii have been studied extensively for their benefits in the prevention and treatment of various diseases, such as digestive tract disorders and the effects after the use of antibiotics.

Another way to positively influence intestinal health is to include enough fiber and prebiotics in the diet. Prebiotics are carbohydrates that promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestines. Examples of prebiotics are fructans, inulin and resistant starch. Fiber, on the other hand, nourishes the intestinal microbiome and regulates the functioning of the digestive tract.

Perga is a natural product that contains probiotics and other beneficial compounds such as polyphenols. The perga fermentation process increases the nutritional value of the product and makes it really healthy. Including perga in the diet can support health by providing the body with important nutrients and promoting the balance of the intestinal microflora. Nutrition science constantly studies the effects of food products on health. Functional foods, such as products containing probiotics and prebiotics, can provide added value to a healthy diet. It is important to remember that a varied diet that varies according to the seasons is the key to maintaining health, and it should include products that promote the well-being of the intestinal microflora.
