Cabbage, the Natural Probiotics for the Improvement of Digestive Health

By Kyle J. Norton

Probiotics are good bacteria that not only balance the ratio of gut microbiota in the intestine but also react with other body systems to provide optimal health in the human.

The most common types of probiotics are lactobacilli (like Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus GG), bifidobacteria (like Bifidobacterium Bifidus) and some yeasts (like Saccharomyces boulardii).

Although all probiotics shared the same functions to improve the gastrointestinal microbiome community, different probiotics have different effects.

Probiotics have been found to improve the ratio of gut microbiota which plays a critical role in the digestion of certain foods that the stomach and small intestine have not been able to digest, in the production vitamins, improvement of digestive functioning and modulation of the immune function.

More precisely, probiotics have been found to process a number of health benefits, including lowering blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose, improved lactose tolerance, and stomach health, weight control and promoted wound healing.

* In immunity, probiotics stimulate the immune function against inflammatory immune disorders.

* In the digestive system, probiotics protect the gut against gastrointestinal diseases and non-gastrointestinal diseases.caused by overexpression of bad bacteria.

* In metabolism, probiotics influence the nutrient extraction from the diet, thus reducing the risk of obesity and obese complication.

* Neurologically, probiotics control brain insulin signaling and metabolite levels that play a critical role in neurobehaviors.

However, the use of antibiotics has been found to damage the gut ecosystem, leading to certain chronic illnesses such as inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, cancer, and autism.

Unhealthy gut microbiota has been found to
* Decrease the interaction with the immune function against inflammatory immune disorders.

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

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

Cabbage is a species of Brassica oleracea belongings to the family Brassicaceae (or Cruciferae), native to the Mediterranean region along the seacoast. The veggie has a short stem of which is crowded a mass of leaves, usually green but in some varieties, it may be red or purplish.

With an aim to find a natural food that promotes the digestive functioning, researchers compared the activity of the probiotics on the novel lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from the fermentative potential for preparing Korean cabbage kimchi and Lactobacillus Plantarum KCC-41 strain.

According to the tested differentiation, 
* Lactobacillus Plantarum KCC-41 strain was able to inhibit pathogenic fungal spore formation and was susceptible to common commercial antibiotic drugs.

* The encapsulated KCC-41 strain could effectively lead to kimchi fermentation in terms of reducing its pH and dominating bacterial count.

*  LAB strain survives in vitro simulated gastrointestinal fluid.

Based on the results, researchers wrote, "It also significantly increased organic acid production than non-encapsulated LAB (KCC-41) for cabbage kimchi samples".
Taken altogether, Korean cabbage kimchi may be considered probiotics for the promotion of digestive functioning, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
