HEALTH BENEFITS OF PROBIOTIC BACTERIA FROM INDIAN FERMENTED FOODS

Abstract

Probiotics are live and beneficial bacteria that help to maintain the natural balance of the gut micro biome. The application of such probiotic bacteria will make a way for the discovery of new drugs. The main source of probiotics is edible foods. Traditionally fermented Indian foods act as a rich source for the isolation of probiotic bacteria. Each fermented food is associated with its unique microbiota along with micro and macronutrients but the importance of such traditional foods is under extinction and left unnoticed. The rate of human health hazards has been drastically increased due to emerging side effects in modern therapeutics and change in food habits. The current scenario can be overruled by employing probiotic drug isolated from traditional fermented Indian foods that majorly helps in improving human microbiome which results in subsequent relief without any adverse effects. The present deals with the benefits and utilization of probiotics as an alternative approach in human for treating various health hazards. The practice of probiotic therapy balances the natural microbiome that chiefly aids in preventing various diseases.
