Abstract

Kee** the digestive system healthy is a foundation stone to general health and well-being. More than 75% of our immunity lies in the gut. The microbes that we harbor in and on our body (the microbiota) is crucial for the GIT functioning and thus immunity. An optimal balance between the good and bad bacteria is the key to good health and stronger immunity. Various lifestyle patterns like incorrect food habits, junk food, faulty sleep patterns, and fast life create imbalance in microbiota causing dysbiosis. Dysbiosis is the root cause of several diseases including hypertension, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular issues, etc. Incorporating functional foods like probiotics, prebiotics, and their combination (synbiotics) in daily diet helps in selective proliferation of the good bacteria in the gut, and this helps in overcoming the dysbiosis. Probiotics have been assessed for multiple properties like cholesterol-lowering effects and anti-carcinogenic activity. Probiotics exhibit immunomodulatory effects on the hosts. This chapter discusses the effects of probiotic and prebiotic consumption on the immune homeostasis function. Mechanisms of probiosis and prebiosis have been elaborated upon. Although there are numerous studies described in the scientific literature regarding the beneficial effects obtained from the consumption of probiotics, some cases of side effects also prevail which have been taken account of in this chapter.
