“…The addition of L. kefiri to a low-calorie diet increased weight loss and further improved the glycemic and lipid profile and also caused a further improvement in obesity-associated dysbiosis, mainly by increasing the muconutritive and regulatory (e.g., Bifidobacterium spp., Akkermansia muciniphila) microbiome, and decreasing the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio (Ruiz-Tovar et al, 2023). In addition, recent studies demonstrated that chronic consumption of probiotics, oats, soymilk, and apples may decrease diastolic blood pressure, triglycerides, total cholesterol, and insulin levels and significantly increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, beneficially affecting cardiometabolic health (Naseri et al, 2022;Pavlidou et al, 2022;Hasanpour et al, 2023;Pushpass et al, 2023;Zarezadeh et al, 2023). A cross-sectional study involving a group of 190 schoolchildren from public schools in Brazil aimed to evaluate the fecal abundance of Bifidobacterium spp.…”

The imbalance of microbial composition and diversity in favor of pathogenic microorganisms combined with a loss of beneficial gut microbiota taxa results from factors such as age, diet, antimicrobial administration for different infections, other underlying medical conditions, etc. Probiotics are known for their capacity to improve health by stimulating the indigenous gut microbiota, enhancing host immunity resistance to infection, helping digestion, and carrying out various other functions. Concurrently, the metabolites produced by these microorganisms, termed postbiotics, which include compounds like bacteriocins, lactic acid, and hydrogen peroxide, contribute to inhibiting a wide range of pathogenic bacteria. This review presents an update on using probiotics in managing and treating various human diseases, including complications that may emerge during or after a COVID-19 infection.

High (free) sugar intakes can increase self-reported energy intake and are associated with unfavourable cardiometabolic health. However, sugar source may modulate the effects of sugars due to several mechanisms including the food matrix. The aim of this review was to assess the current state of evidence in relation to food source effects on the physiological responses to dietary sugars in humans relevant to cardiometabolic health. An additional aim was to review potential mechanisms by which food sources may influence such responses. Evidence from meta-analyses of controlled intervention trials was used to establish the balance of evidence relating to the addition of sugars to the diet from sugar-sweetened beverages, fruit juice, honey and whole fruit on cardiometabolic outcomes. Subsequently, studies which have directly compared whole fruit with fruit juices, or variants of fruit juices, were discussed. In summary, the sources of sugars can impact physiological responses, with differences in glycaemic control, blood pressure, inflammation, and acute appetite. Longer-term effects and mechanisms require further work, but initial evidence implicates physical structure, energy density, fibre, potassium and polyphenol content, as explanations for some of the observed responses.
