They aid in digestion of food , limiting the harmful bacteria and stimulate the immune system.

The Scientists of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization ( FAO ) defines probiotics as " live microorganisms administered in adequate roomates when amounts will nourish their hosts" . They aid in the digestion of food , limiting the Harmful bacteria and stimulate the immune system .History probiotics

 At the end of the 19th century, microbiologists found that healthy people have different microbes with sick people . They then named the good microbes " probiotics " ( literally meaning " to life " ) .

 Researchers Metchnikoff probably the first to breed beneficial microbes from fermented milk . He believed that lactic acid bacteria can extend the life and drank sour milk every day to  proved . He died in 1916 at the age of 71 years , far beyond the average age at the time .Japanese research scientist Metchnikoff inspire Shirota to begin research on the relationship of intestinal bacteria with health . Believes that a person 's health is influenced by the amount of good bacteria that live in the intestines , Shirota diligently researching various types of intestinal microbial flora . In 1935 , he succeeded in developing specialized bacteria that live in the fermented milk . When this type of bacteria is present in one of the most important in the world of health beverage , Yakult , the which is virtually unchanged since the recipe was found by Shirota .Since then , many Researchers continue to study the health effects of work Shirota probiotics . The increasingly intense research in the last 20 years .The workings of the digestiveTo understand how probiotics benefit our understanding of the digestive system will help .Your digestive tract contains a diverse and complex microbial ecosystem . You are host to more than 500 types of intestinal bacteria that have a way of life and behavior vary . They have the potential to act in a positive, negative or neutral .The number and type of bacteria varies depending on the location in the digestive tract . In healthy individuals , the upper part of the small intestine and the stomach contains few microbes have bactericidal action of stomach acid . Unlike the small intestine , the large intestine is the " headquarters of the United Nations " the bacteria . In between these two extremes there is a transition zone that contains moderate amounts of bacteria .The digestive process begins as soon as the food into the mouth . Mastication of food particles roomates increase of the surface makes it Easier decomposed into smaller particles by salivary enzymes . In the stomach , food is mixed with gastric juices that contain a digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid . This mixture , called gastric fluid , destroying food that is then pumped out of the stomach into the small intestine . There , other enzymes and bile mixed with gastric juices to continue the digestive process to break down fats , proteins and carbohydrates . Some carbohydrates are not digested by enzymes and will pass to the large intestine , but most of the nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine .Within about 4-6 hours after eating , what is left of the food will pass through the large intestine . The large intestine has the greatest number of bacteria ( up to 100 trillion ) of various types . The upper part of the colon Ferment carbohydrates . Digestion of residual impurities are removed through the rectum every 24-48 hours .

 Mechanism of action of probiotics

 Probiotic health benefits through one of the following processes:
 ■ Competition for nutrients . To grow and multiply , good intestinal bacteria using the same nutrients with pathogenic bacteria . Consumption of probiotics help limit the growth of pathogenic bacteria .

 ■ Competition for attachment . The ability of bacteria to attach to the intestinal wall is an important element in growth . Here once again the competition occurring between good and bad bacteria . One important function of probiotic bacteria is to Prevent or limit the potential growth of pathogenic bacteria ( e. coli , salmonella , etc. . ) In the intestinal wall . Bad bacteria that can interfere with digestion , inhibits the absorption of nutrients , and causes diarrhea or vomiting . In a balanced intestinal microflora population , the dominance of the good bacteria Reduces the risk .

 ■ stimulate immunity . By optimizing the balance of intestinal microflora , probiotics nourish and stimulate the body 's immunity . When Consumed Regularly , they help you reduce the risk of various diseases .

 ■ Improve digestion . Probiotics produce enzymes such as polysaccharide carbohydrates that help break down food . Thus , the small intestine absorb more nutrients from food Easily decomposes . Microflora in the colon also supports the synthesis of vitamins .

Proper Nutrition For Cancer Patients

Fresh vegetable and fruits are very well taken by cancer patients . the fact, every person has cancer cells . Throughout life, the body undergoes six to 10 times the eruption of cancer cells . The problem arises when the immune system is impaired or weakened . Weakened immunity resulting endurance not able to control the genetic mutation or loss of cells due to impaired control mechanisms .
As told by a cancer surgeon and herbal medicine expert , a weak immune system loses the ability to kill cancer cells and not able to control the growth of these cells . As a result , through the blood and lymph flow , unimpeded spread of cancer cells into surrounding tissues and other organs .
Typically , the treatment of cancer is done through surgery by removing the cancerous tissue the malignant cells . Another treatment , with chemotherapy or radiotherapy to destroy cancerous cells . There is also a hormone therapy that aims to regulate hormone balance . However , according to Paul , cancer treatment can also be coupled with complementary therapies or complementary therapies such as nutrition . By watching ekobiosistem body , these therapies do not bring up the environment in the body that supports the cancer cells to live and breed .
For this , patients are advised to eat foods that also serves as a drug ( to be nutrasetikal ) . " So , the most effective way in the fight against cancer is cancer cells do not give a preferred food

Nutrasetikal concept , according to him , was first introduced by Stephen De Felice , chairman of the Foundation for Innovation in Medicine in 1989 . Nutrasetikal is a food or part of a food that provides medical benefits , including preventing or treating disease . The bottom line is a combination of nutrition and pharmaceutical functions . Nutrasetikal consists of herbs , supplements , and drinks nutrasetikal . Herbs can be shaped herbs , vegetables , and fruits . Supplements such as vitamins and minerals , while nutrasetikal drinks include water, ginger , turmeric, tamarind , rice kencur , water green beans , soy milk , gelatin , or palm sugar .
Well , for cancer patients , if you want to eat sugar should select honey , palm sugar or palm sugar . Avoid artificial sweeteners . Also, avoid processed cow's milk and cow's milk . Cow's milk causes the body to produce mucous . " Cancer of the mucous meal . So , you should use unsweetened soy milk . "
According to him , the cancer cells delighted with the acidic environment . Meat , for example , is acidic foods . In addition , the meat also contains residues of antibiotics , growth hormones and parasites . Therefore , patients with cancer should go back to a vegetarian diet . Cancer patients also need to avoid the consumption of high fat , but offset by higher fiber . Similarly, canned foods , preserved foods or contain preservatives . " Avoid eating table salt containing bleach and chemicals , should consume coarse salt . "
Another thing to avoid is food that has been engineered , such as transgenic soybeans and corn . Also , vegetable residues containing heavy metals , pesticides , or herbicides . Forget food like jengkol , chips , melinjo , durian , fruit gummy like Cempedak , jackfruit , sapodilla , Duku , complexioned . Away also heated with a microwave meals , frozen foods , and foods are heated to high temperatures .
Paul warned , the food must be consumed by 80 percent of cancer patients should be fresh vegetables , whole grains , cereals , and fruits . " Fresh vegetable juices containing enzymes that are easily absorbed by phytoplankton cells within 15 minutes , " said the doctor who opened a clinic in Tangerang .
The rest , about 20 percent , cooked food including beans . Beans should be cooked because it has antinutrisi . Once cooked , the negative nature will be lost . Also, avoid thick chili and coconut milk .
Note minumanTak only food , cancer patients also need to pay attention to the drinks that will be consumed . High caffeine drinks such as coffee , tea , and chocolate , should be deleted in the list of the daily menu . As a substitute , drink green tea because it contains anticancer substances .

What about distilled water ? This water was not good for people with cancer is acidic . Water refill should also be avoided because it may contain toxins and heavy metals . So , you should use pure water , or that has been filtered . " More importantly , avoid alcoholic beverages and soft drinks . "
Paul said, Indonesia is the second country in the world after Brazil with biological wealth . Of the 40 species of flora in the world , 30 thousand of which are grown in this country . Approximately 26 percent of this amount has been cultivated , 74 percent still grows wild in the forests . In fact , there are 940 kinds of medicinal herbs in the treatment and has erupted 10 times dibudidayakanai cancer cells . The problem arises when the immune system is impaired or weakened . Weakened immunity resulting endurance not able to control the genetic mutation or loss of cells due to impaired control mechanisms .
As told by a cancer surgeon and herbal medicine expert , Dr. Paul W Halim Spb , a weak immune system loses the ability to kill cancer cells and not able to control the growth of these cells . As a result , through the blood and lymph flow , unimpeded spread of cancer cells into surrounding tissues and other organs .
