Scientists discover that microbiome alterations can be linked to colon, breast and prostate cancer

Some alterations in microbioma -Bacteria found in the intestine- can be linked to Colon cancer, breast cancer and prostate canceraccording to a new study in which professors of the European University.

In depth

In the specific case of ‘Fusobacterium nucleatum‘, This bacterium has been studied by its association with colorectal cancer. These mismatches in the Intestinale bacterias, also known as dysbiosis, can be caused by several factors such as high diet in processed foods and sugars, Excessive use of antibiotics, chronic stress or lack of physical activity.

According to teachers or Vicente Javier Clemente and José Francisco Tornero, when the bacteria ‘hello good‘decrease and the’bad‘Increase, intestine balance is altered, which can lead to the activation of the immune system and chronic inflammation.

More details

To avoid these imbalances, they consider that it is essential to carry a diet rich in fiber, fruits, vegetables, and fermented foods, such as yogurt and kefirthat encourage the growth of healthy bacteria in addition to maintaining a balanced lifestyle, with regular exercise and stress management techniques, such as meditation or yoga.

Regarding treatments, research examines several strategies to improve hormonal health through the modification of intestinal microbiota. Prebiotics and probiotics can help regulate intestinal bacteria. Prebiotics encourage the growth of beneficial bacteria, while Probiotics introduce healthy bacteria directly.

To take into account

Another promising approach to research is the fecal microbiota transplant, which has shown positive results in the treatment of type 1 diabetes and obesity when restoring a balance healthy bacterial and improve insulin sensitivity.

As explained The researchersthis is an emerging treatment that has gained interest in its potential to restore a healthy microbial balance in the intestine. It consists of transferring feces of a healthy donor to a person with disbiosis or intestinal imbalance. The idea is to reintroduce a diverse community of healthy bacteria that can repopulate the intestine and restore balance.
