“Eating the Mediterranean diet supports good bacteria”

Emphasizing the importance of the intestines as a vital organ in recent years, American Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Member Gastroenterologist Prof. Dr. Orhan Tarçın stated, “Here, not only do we have intestines, but there are also microorganisms inside the intestines. We call this the microbiota, and it is crucial for our health. The microbiota strengthens our immunity and eliminates bacteria. However, if we cannot protect this microbiota well, diseases can arise. Eating healthily and consuming probiotics strengthens good bacteria. The health of our intestines is the health of our body. Eating well and getting good sleep are very important. If we eat the Mediterranean diet, we support good bacteria,” he said.

“Environmental factors are causing chronic diseases”

Medical Genetic Specialist Dr. Yaman Sağlam pointed out that environmental factors are causing chronic diseases, saying, “When we talk about chronic diseases, many diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension come to mind. In recent times, diseases influenced by environmental factors related to our diet have begun to emerge. We can give examples of diseases related to the intestines in particular. After some tests, we plan how a person will be treated. In addition, we provide guidance on how to eat,” he said.

“To live a healthy life, one needs a regular sleep pattern and to avoid stress”

Explaining connective tissue and its regeneration, Stem Cell and Anti-Aging Specialist Dr. Cansen Yeni Kut said, “When we talk about connective tissue, it is usually understood in terms of aesthetics and skin. However, when we talk about connective tissue, we should think of joint areas and our muscles. The social environment we are in means the same thing for our cells as connective tissue. We explained the needs of the collagen in our body at the summit; for muscles to function better and cells to live healthier. To live a healthy life, one needs a regular sleep pattern and to avoid stress. In addition, we discussed the functions of various vitamins and supplements,” she said.
