The Role of Prebiotics and Probiotics in Prevention and Treatment of Diseases

The human body cells are around 90% microbial, in this sense correlations between changes in composition and activity of the gut microbiota and common disorders such as cancer, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, inflammatory bowel diseases, obesity, oral health, etc., have been proposed. And, it is known that diet has a key role in the management of the gut microbiota. Clinical data have supported positive results among the consume of probiotics and prebiotics and intestinal health. However, probiotics validity and health claims have continuously been rejected on the basis of “biomarker deficiency”. But, due to increase in health spending, a preventive approach to medicine with the development of probiotics and prebiotics or symbiotic products is being advanced. This review discusses the relationship among prebiotics and probiotics consume in preventing and treating certain diseases.
