The Department of Biochemical Engineering at Al-Khwarizmi College of Engineering organized a scientific symposium on Monday, April 3, 2022, focusing on the topic of probiotics and their impact on biological balance. Led by Assist.Lec. Zahraa Hamid Muhammad, a lecturer in the department, the symposium convened professors and teachers to delve into the role of beneficial bacteria in maintaining digestive health.
Probiotics, known as beneficial bacteria found in the human intestines, were at the center of discussion during the workshop. Attendees learned about various sources of probiotics, including dairy products, kefir, green bananas, dark chocolate, and sauerkraut, as well as different forms of consumption such as powder, capsules, gelatin, or drops.
The symposium highlighted the significant contributions of probiotics to restoring the vital balance of the digestive system, addressing issues such as constipation, indigestion, and irritable bowel problems. Furthermore, attendees gained insights into how probiotics can strengthen the body’s immunity, enhance lactose digestion, and facilitate the breakdown of difficult fats in the body. This scientific exchange underscores the importance of understanding probiotics in promoting overall health and well-being.
