Blueberries Eaten With Probiotics Help Protect Against Intestinal Diseases

Eating yogurt with blueberries may help protect against intestinal diseases like ulcerative colitis and colorectal cancer, according to the findings of a new study.
The researchers tested various types of diets of blueberry husks, rye bran and oat bran with or without a mixture of probiotic bacteria. The results showed that the protective effect of blueberries was reinforced if they were eaten together with probiotics.
"The probiotics proved to have a protective effect on the liver, an organ that is often negatively impacted by intestinal inflammations," said researcher Asa Hakansson.
They also found that when the berries were eaten together with probiotics, the content of butyric acid and propionic acid increased in the blood. These substances have previously been shown to be important energy sources for intestinal cells and to have a favorable impact on immune defense.
Blueberries are rich in antioxidants, vitamins and polyphenols, which have an antimicrobial and antioxidative effect. The combination of blueberries and probiotics reduced inflammation-inducing bacteria in the intestine at the same time as the number of health-promoting lactobacilla increased.
