Broccoli Promotes Gastrointestinal Health

By Kyle J. Norton

Gastrointestinal tract formed part of the digestive system, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. which processes the function to extract nutrients of the food intake and expels the remaining waste as feces.

Gastrointestinal dysfunction is a class of conditions that reduce the gastrointestinal functionings, including constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, perianal abscesses, and anal fistulas.

Most common symptoms of the pain, heartburn, abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting, bloating, constipation and diarrhea. Most cases of gastrointestinal dysfunction of people with no structure problem are associated with the imbalanced gut microbiota.

Gut microbiota is a community of microbes living in the gastrointestinal tract. There are over trillions of microorganisms, including at least 1000 different species of known bacteria with more than 3 million genes.

Imbalanced gut community microbes ratio can induce certain health problems including
* Decreasing the interaction with the immune function.

* Increasing the risk of gastrointestinal diseases and non-gastrointestinal diseases caused by overexpression of bad bacteria.

* Reducing nutrient extraction from the diet, thus increasing the risk of obesity and obese complication.

* Failure to control brain insulin signaling and metabolite levels that can lead t

Dr. Ruth K. Dudek-Wicher, the lead scientists wrote, "Gut microbial imbalance (dysbiosis) has been linked to important human diseases and inflammation-related disorders".

And, "...the impact of different antibiotics causing such long-term consequences as decreased microbial diversity, modulation of the Bacteroidetes/Firmicutes ratio, Clostridium difficile overgrowth, and increased expansion of the opportunistic pathogens Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia spp., and Klebsiella spp.".

Broccoli is a mustard/cabbage plant, belongings to the family Brassicaceae. The veggie has large flower heads, usually green in color and the mass of flower heads and is surrounded by leaves and evolved from a wild cabbage plant on the continent of Europe.

On findings a potent ingredient for the improvement of gut health, researchers examined the Brassica rich diet effect on intestinal lactobacilli and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), or alteration to the composition of the gut microbiota in healthy adults.

The randomized crossover study included 10 healthy adults received a high ( one 84 g portions of broccoli, six 84 g portions of cauliflower and six 300 g portions of a broccoli and sweet potato soup) and a low (one 84 g portion of broccoli and one 84 g portion of cauliflower) Brassica diet for 2‐wk periods, with a 2‐wk washout phase separating the diets.

According to the differentiation of fecal microbiota composition in samples collected following 2 wk Brassica‐free periods, increased consumption of Brassica was associated with a reduction in the relative abundance of SRB, and other bacterias such as  Rikenellaceae, Ruminococcaceae, Mogibacteriaceae, Clostridium, and unclassified Clostridiales.

In other words, consumption of Brassica improved the gut microbiome composition by reducing numbers of bacteria associated with gastrointestinal "bad-health" without alternating the expression of other bacterias.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "The increased consumption of Brassica vegetables was linked to a reduced relative abundance of SRB, and therefore may be potentially beneficial to gastrointestinal health".

Taken altogether, broccoli used combined with cauliflower may be considered a functional food for the promotion of gut health, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
