Caps shorten each time cell divides Young cells have long telomeres, old cells eventually shrink, stop dividing and die. Stressed out Mothers had significantly shorter telomeres. 9 to 17 times older than their chronological age

98. Probiotics - Means “For Life” as contrasted with…. Antibiotics - “Against life” History - It is said that Abraham owed his long life to the consumption of sour milk – Gen 18vs8 - Roman historian Plinius recommended fermented milk products for treating gastroenteritis - Early researchers claimed that yoghurt increased longevity, reduced diarrhoea and was abundant in the gut of breast fed infants. FloraState
99. Probiotics - These are live strains of good bacteria which help our digestive system work efficiently - These include Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria Prebiotics - These are nutrients and components of food upon which our gut bacteria feed - These include inulin and fructo-oligosaccharides (found in artichokes, chickory root, leeks, onions & garlic) Synbiotics - These are where probiotics and prebiotics are used in combination. - This improves the survival of the probiotic organism because its specific substrate is available FloraState

Prebiotics Prebiotics Good bacteria secretes enzymes Inhibit growth of disease causing bacteria Balance of flora tips in healthy direction (crowds out disease causing bacteria) Growth enhancer for probiotics (lactobacilli & bifidobacteria) Break down prebiotics into acetic and butyric acid Good bacteria secretes antibodies to restrain unhealthy bugs Probiotics thrive Gastric acid Digestive enzymes Immune system
