On April 19, the "National Children's Diarrhea Prevention and Treatment Science Popularization Ability Improvement" activity sponsored by the China Health Promotion and Education Association was grandly launched in Beijing. The project aims to improve the capacity of maternal and child health hospitals, key provincial and municipal centers for disease control and prevention, and primary medical and health institutions in the prevention and treatment of childhood diarrheal diseases by strengthening health promotion and popular science education, and comprehensively promote the implementation of the early prevention system for childhood diarrheal diseases.
The prevention and treatment of diarrheal diseases in children not only needs to improve medical technology, but also needs to strengthen the popular science education of professional knowledge and improve the health awareness of parents and children. The project invited experts from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the Maternal and Child Health Center, the Third Hospital of Peking University, and the Capital Institute of Pediatrics to conduct in-depth discussions on the prevention and treatment of diarrheal diseases in children.
At the conference, Zhang Yu, a doctor/researcher at the Chinese Center for Disease Control, shared a special topic on "Probiotics and Children's Intestinal Health". The report pointed out that the use of antibiotics, as an important drug for the treatment of bacterial infections, will inevitably have a certain impact on intestinal health: including disrupting the balance of the microflora, causing diarrhea and other related side effects, and triggering antimicrobial resistance in the intestinal flora.
As an important digestive and absorption organ of the human body, the health of the intestine is directly related to the growth and development of the baby. The intestinal flora is known as the second set of genes in the human body, which is affected by multiple factors such as age, diet, drugs, environment, and stress. The destruction of intestinal flora will not only affect the health of the intestinal tract, but also lead to immune function and other abnormalities in the body, so the intestinal flora is essential for human health! Because the drug is easy to destroy the baby's intestinal microecology and cause adverse effects such as diarrhea, intestinal care after medicine cannot be ignored. Experts emphasize that after taking antibiotics, proper supplementation of probiotics can help to take care of the intestines and restore the balance of intestinal flora.
The report details the benefits of probiotics in regulating gut microbiota, reducing the incidence of antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and reducing antibiotic resistance. As a powerful assistant to maintain intestinal health, probiotics have multiple effects such as regulating the balance of intestinal flora and enhancing immunity, which can help babies better absorb nutrients and reduce the occurrence of intestinal problems. Especially for children, it is especially important to choose the right probiotic product. Experts shared that the probiotics used for babies should be recognized in the national "List of Bacteria that Can Be Used for Infant Food", and pointed out that Bifidobacterium infantis is one of the probiotics suitable for infants and young children, because it accounts for up to 53% of the baby's body, which is of great significance for maintaining the baby's intestinal health.
The activity of "National Improvement of Science Popularization Ability for the Prevention and Treatment of Children's Diarrhea" provided strong academic support for improving the prevention and treatment of children's diarrheal diseases, and also provided professional guidance for nutrition enterprises. As a leading brand in the probiotics industry, Biostime will continue to pay attention to the use of antibiotics and children's intestinal health, and actively participate in activities related to promoting the healthy development of children's intestinal health, so as to bring health and happiness to more maternal and infant families.
