Abstract

A Milky Way to Healthy Gut: The Probiotic of All Ages

Akbar Nikkhah

This article innovatively discusses functional benefits of milk for optimal gut physiology and health. This involves optimizing the gut microbial ecology. Milk with its diverse nature of nutrients and functional items stimulates gastrointestinal digestive and assimilative functions. Milk’s special proteins and lactose help gut microbes retain adequate diversity to allow beneficial strains reproduce and inhibit harmful strains from generating toxins. Milk is an overlooked probiotic of all ages that must be highly included in healthy regimens.
