We all know that human body is a complex structure. It comprise of many microorganisms. The human body is its own ecosystem; millions of bacteria and organisms call it home. Usually the body exists in symbiosis with these organisms, some of them provide benefit. Other organisms, parasites, provide no benefit and are usually harmful. The human body contains about 100 trillion cells, but only maybe one in 10 of those cells is actually — human. The rest are from bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. We are talking about a very big and extra ordinary creation.
Do We Still Feel Loneliness after reading the above facts? We are almost along with microorganisms 100 trillion.
As per the famous SUFI writer RUMI the entire Universe is inside YOU.
Now a very interesting question arise here that all this microorganism are categorized as living things so do they affect our thinking and daily routine works?
Serotonin can activate the vagus, suggesting one way your gut bacteria might be linked with your brain. There are many other ways gut bacteria might affect your brain, including via bacterial toxins and metabolites, nutrient-scavenging, changing your taste-receptors and stirring up your immune system. Scientifically it proved that microbes living in our body do effect the thinking and directly affect the personality.
WHAT SHOULD WE DO NOW?
Think bacteria are bad? Think again
Bacteria and other microbes (including fungi and viruses) are often thought of as sources of disease, but in fact many play an essential role in keeping you healthy.
Your body contains trillions of microbes, most of which are beneficial. The most dense microbe population is in your gut, where they play a critical role in digestion, immune function and weight regulation.
What you eat can quickly change your microbes, but are you eating the right foods to help your good gut bacteria?
Studies have associated microbes with a lower incidence of cancer, heart disease, liver disease, diabetes, asthma, depression, autism, irritable bowel syndrome, colic, Parkinson’s and many allergies. However, much more research is required to be certain of their role in keeping us healthy.
What you eat isn’t just nutrition for you, it also feeds the trillions of bacteria that live in your gut.
Every person is different, but if you want to improve your digestion, lose weight or look after your general health, there are some broad principles that apply to all.
- Eat more plant base food.
- Eat more fiber. Fruit, vegetables, pulses, nuts and wholegrain feed healthy bacteria.
- Choose extra-virgin olive oil.
- Antibiotics kill ‘good’ bacteria as well as ‘bad’. If you need antibiotics, make sure you eat lots of foods that boost your microbes afterwards.
- Probiotic foods, such as live yogurt, might encourage more microbes to grow. Eat them if you enjoy them.
- If your diet is low in fiber, a sudden increase can cause wind and bloating.
Belly bacteria can shape mood and behavior.
Microbes inside our stomach and intestines help break down food. Those microbes poop out waste products that can themselves serve as chemical messengers. These waste molecules can trigger a cascade of signals throughout the rest of the body.
Mark Lyte. He’s a microbial endocrinologist — someone who studies microbes and the hormones they release — at Iowa State University in Ames.
Lyte was interested in microbes in the gut that might cause infection. But he soon realized that some gut bacteria were sending messages. Those signals consisted of chemicals that looked very familiar. These germs were producing some of the same molecules used when one brain cell communicates with another — a process known as Neurol transmission.
“These are the same things we have in our brains and [that our brain cells] use for communication,” he says. Soon, he wondered: “Could it be that bacteria are communicating with us all the time?”
As scientists learned to listen in on that bacterial chatter, they discovered he was right. The brain and gut send constant cascades of notes back and forth, more than any social media. And that peaceful communication serves a critical purpose, Lyte says. “You have trillions of bugs in your gut and you rely on them for a lot of your nutrients. But they rely on you to sustain themselves,” he says. “They need to communicate with you. And you need to communicate with them.”
So a two way communication system is very important to maintain a balanced.
Sometimes the communication from our brain is strong that we control all the microorganisms in our body.
On the other hand microbes controlling us.
This as per the above scientific researches it proves that we have a parallel universe inside us. Which can play a significant impact of CONTROLLING US.
