Ayurvedic and Modern Nutritional Approaches for the Impact of Probiotics on Human Health: A Review

Abstract

Background: Human are unique reservoir of diverse and highly living community of microorganisms which collectively forms the human microbiome. The human gut is home to more than 100–1000 different types of microbes, all of which have a profound impact on host health by modulating the internal environment of the host. These organisms are essential for good digestion, anabolism and catabolism. Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria are commonly used probiotic cultures. They play important role in maintenance of good health, immune system. In Ayurvedic classical text, Dadhi (Curd) and Takra (Buttermilk) are considered as the source of Probiotic, which is beneficial for the gut health. It is beneficil for the diarrhoel disease, constipation, gastroenteritis, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome. Aims and Objectives: The purpose of the study is to highlight the various impact of probiotics on human health through Ayurvedic and Modern nutritional aspects. Method and Materials: This paper has been taken from various research paper from PubMed, Google scholar etc. Discussion & Conclusion: The microbiome diversity is likely important in health maintenance, and it is likely that broad-spectrum probiotics may increase the effectiveness of treatment. They have an important role in the maintenance of immunologic equilibrium in the GI tract through direct interaction with immune cells. Probiotics are useful and friendly microbes. There is a relationship between disease, health, the immune system, and changes in the microbiota. They are able to compete with the bad microbes and colonize our digestive system. They are also able to ferment our food to simpler by products and could promote our health by many different mechanisms. In Ayurveda, there are many Ahara Kalpana are mentioned, which are prepared by using Dadhi and Takra and those Kalpana are ensured as healthy microbiome.
