Our previous issue of Health Brings Wealth illustrated the most recommended eating patterns, however we do understand that it can sound easy in theory, but tough in practice in the case one has digestive issues. A solution will then be needed to resolve those first, and probiotics (in all its forms) is the key to most situations. Getting to understand the health advantages and cons of probiotics in depth is worth your while. By providing the solid information within this issue, we are aiming to promote even more ways to a sustainably healthy and happy life for you. การเดินสายกลางเพื่อสุขภาพที่สมดุลในชีวิตประจ�าวันนั้นเป็นสิ่งจ�าเป็น ทั้งนี้ รวมไปถึงการบริโภคอาหารด้วย โดยในนิตยสาร Health Brings Wealth ฉบับที่แล้ว ได้รวบรวมแนะน�าแบบแผนการรับประทานที่เหมาะสมไป แต่ทว่าเป็นที่ตระหนักกัน เป็นอย่างดีว่า ภาคทฤษฎีย่อมฟังดูเป็นไปได้มากกว่าภาคปฏิบัติเสมอ ดังนั้นเนื้อหาใน นิตยสารฉบับนี้จึงอุทิศให้กับโพรไบโอติกส์ที่เป็นทางเลือกและทางรอดให้ระบบร่างกาย ปรับสมดุลได้ อย่างไรก็ดี การศึกษาข้อดีและข้อเสียของการบริโภคโพรไบโอติกส์ให้เข้าใจ อย่างถ่องแท้ ซึ่งมีน�าเสนอในนิตยสารฉบับนี้แล้ว ควบคู่ไปกับการปรึกษาแพทย์ จะส่งผลดีในระยะยาวให้กับสุขภาพร่างกายของคุณได้อย่างยั่งยืน DR.

These are made from mucoadhesive nanofibres and produced by an engineered natural gut bacterium. The hydrogels can be easily produced from bacterial cultures and applied as a longer-life, self-regenerating “live gel” or shorter- life “cell-free gel” to intestinal surfaces via syringes, spray or endoscopic techniques to provide a seal. Further studies are required to determine if these can be applied to humans. ทีมวิจัยจาก Harvard University หาวิธี รักษาแผลในล�าไส้ได้แล้ว ด้วยกระบวนการ พันธุวิศวกรรมในห้องปฏิบัติการ ที่เปลี่ยน แบคทีเรียที่มีอยู่ในระบบย่อยอาหารตาม ธรรมชาติอยู่แล้วให้เป็นไฮโดรเจล จากนั้น น�าไปพ่นลงบนแผลในล�าไส้และปล่อย ให้การรักษาเยียวยาเริ่มต้นขึ้น ไฮโดรเจลนี้ มีความหนาเท่ากับเมือกที่สร้างโดยล�าไส้ ตามธรรมชาติ และสามารถบิดปรับรูปร่าง ได้ให้ตรงกับจุดที่ต้องการรักษา รวมถึง สามารถคงอยู่ในกระเพาะที่มีสภาวะกรดสูง และส่งไปยังล�าไส้เล็กได้ อีกทั้งยังสามารถ คงอยู่ได้ถึงห้าวันขณะรักษา อย่างไรก็ตาม ขณะนี้ยังเป็นเพียงการทดลองกับสัตว์ เท่านั้น REGULATING GUT BACTERIA MAY EASE ANXIETY SYMPTOMS Researchers at Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, using a new systematic review, believe that changing our gut flora could help ease anxiety symptoms. Their analysis of 21 studies, which involved 1,503 subjects and focused on gut bacteria interventions to treat anxiety, found that certain approaches may help alleviate the condition. Two main approaches were used to manipulate gut bacteria in the participants i.e. the patients' diet was altered and they were given probiotic supplements. The studies showed a 52% marked improvement in anxiety symptoms with the diet interventions having an efficacy rate of 86%. There were some limitations to the findings however and more studies are necessary. งานวิจัยของศูนย์สุขภาพจิตเซี่ยงไฮ้ ท�าการ ศึกษา 21 งานวิจัย ที่มีผู้เข้าร่วมรวม 1,503 คน พบว่าแบคทีเรียในล�าไส้ ซึ่งบทบาทส�าคัญต่อ สมองและสุขภาพจิต อาจเป็นตัวช่วยลดอาการ โรควิตกกังวลได้ โดยงานวิจัยแบ่งวิธีการควบคุม แบคทีเรียในล�าไส้เป็นสองแบบหลักๆ คือ ปรับ ให้ผู้เข้าร่วมปรับอาหารที่รับประทานให้มีโพรไบ- โอติกส์ และแบบที่สองคือให้อาหารเสริมที่มี โพรไบโอติกส์ พบว่าโดยรวมแล้ว ทั้งสองวิธี ท�าให้ผู้มีอาการวิตกกังวลดีขึ้นถึง 52% โดยวิธี การปรับอาหารท�าให้อาการดีขึ้นถึง 86% อย่างไรก็ตาม การค้นพบนี้ยังเป็นข้อมูลที่ได้จาก การสังเกตการณ์ ต้องมีการศึกษาเพิ่มเติม เกี่ยวกับความสัมพันธ์ของการควบคุมแบคทีเรีย ในล�าไส้ กับอาการของโรควิตกกังวลต่อไป/ ISSUE_26 18 YOUR HEALTHY SOUL Lastest shopping guide The festive season is coming and you are likely looking for many items, such as beautiful decorations for your home, thoughtful gifts for friends and a memorable present for your special one.
