Harvard University scientist Dr. William Lee has revealed a mystery and said that research done on people who live for 100 years or more has found that the most important role behind this is played by 4 types of bacteria found in the stomach. The special thing is that everyone can produce these four bacteria in their stomach. For this, some common things have to be consumed, due to which these bacteria increase in one's stomach. With the help of these foods, anyone can prolong their life.

4 special bacteria are the secret of longer life

In the news of Daily Mail, Dr. William Lee told that the bacteria found in the intestine help in many important tasks in our body. It helps in fighting from digestion in the intestine to cancer and protects from many diseases including infection. Dr. Lee said that researchers have found in their research that people who live for 100 years or more, have 4 special types of bacteria in their stomach in very high numbers. These are Odoribacter, Oscillobacter, Christensenella and Akkermansia. Dr. Lee said that these four bacteria play an important role in our health. They are great friends for us. They even benefit our mental health.

How do they help?

Dr. Lee said that we do not know completely about these bacteria, but as far as research has been done in this regard, it proves that these bacteria boost the digestion system of our stomach and do not allow dangerous bacteria like E. coli to grow. Odoribacter is such a bacteria that even protects us from cancer. According to a study conducted in Japan, Odorobacter helps in increasing longevity. That is why it is called Mother Nature's Statin. Oscillobacter makes your body active towards insulin sensitivity. If this bacteria is obtained from a healthy diet, it helps in increasing life in many ways. Good insulin sensitivity means that your body responds better to the insulin hormone and can easily digest sugar in the blood, whereas insulin resistance is the opposite and it increases the risk of type 2 diabetes. Similarly, the other three bacteria present in the intestine also boost metabolism and protect us from many diseases by increasing immunity. It is even helpful in fighting cancer.

How to increase these bacteria

Dr. Lee said that these bacteria can be easily increased with the help of some food. Dr. Lee said that the production of Oscillobacter can be increased in the intestine with pomegranate, dried cranberry, concord grapes, chili, black raspberry and Chinese black vinegar. For the other three bacteria, things that start resistance should be eaten. For this, he told that like you cook rice or potato once and keep it in the freeze overnight. When you take it out in the morning, the chemical composition of this rice will have changed. It will have more starch resistance. Heat it in the morning and consume it. This will help in increasing many types of healthy microorganisms in the intestine. This recipe is better for the growth of positive bacteria in your digestive system.

Benefit only if you eat it in youth
Dr. Lee also said that if you want to increase the number of these bacteria in the intestine, then for this you have to start eating these things from youth. If you start eating it from the age of 70, then there will be no benefit. Therefore, if you want to live a healthy life or live longer, then start consuming these things in youth itself.
