Gut microbiota related to nutrition and physical activity: an integrative review

Introduction: The gut microbiota (GM) is formed by millions of microorganisms present in the gastrointestinal tract, especially in the colon. This intestinal homeostasis can be triggered by the union of a good diet, and even recent studies have suggested that aerobic physical training can modify its composition. Objective: To analyze the influence of healthy eating added to the practice of physical exercise in changing the composition of the GM. Methods: The research was carried out with an exploratory, qualitative and bibliographic approach. A literature review that brings together important studies on the influence of physical exercise on GM. Results: Data collection for this literature review was carried out from March to September, using articles, in addition to trustworthy websites, with the following descriptors: gut microbiota, microbiota, intestinal flora, food, probiotics, and physical exercise. Conclusion: The training was efficient to change the GM composition in sedentary men, thus being able to minimize possible negative interferences of the sedentary pattern. Bacteria that reside in our body work with a commensalism strategy, where there are two different structures, the microorganism, and the individual's body, but both live together normally and thus work together to maintain the GM balance.

Spontaneous Seizures

People with epilepsy have been discouraged from participating in physical activity due to the fear that it will exacerbate seizures. Clinical and animal studies indicate a reduction of seizure frequency as well as decrease susceptibility to subsequently evoked seizures after an exercise program. Analyses from experimental studies of animals with epilepsy submitted to physical training programs were performed. In all studies the physical training was able to reduce the number of spontaneous seizures in rats with epilepsy. Seizure occurrence during exercise was relatively absent in the majority of studies. No death was found in animals with epilepsy during 1680 h of exercise. Based on these results it is plausible encouraging persons with epilepsy to non-pharmacological treatments and preventative measures such as physical exercise.

Hepatic Gluconeogenesis

Gut microbiota (GM) is a set of bacteria which colonize the gastrointestinal tract. GM and its active metabolites take part in intestinal and hepatic gluconeogenesis, in the synthesis of incretin hormones, and affect the regulation of appetite. Thus, GM and its metabolites participate in the homeostasis of carbohydrates and fats. An imbalance in the set of the intestinal flora and a disturbance of the production of active metabolites sharply increases the risk of developing obesity and type 2 diabetes. There are conflicting data in the literature on the role of specific microorganisms in the development of metabolic disorders. Research is needed to identify specific types of bacteria and their active metabolites which affect the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Background/Aim. Inflammation is an important factor in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, and several markers of inflammation have been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events. Physical activity may lower the risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) by mitigating inflammation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of aerobic physical exercise on systemic inflammatory response in patients with stable coronary disease participating in a cardiovascular rehabilitation exercise program. Methods. Male (n = 29) and female (n = 23) patients with stable coronary heart disease were enrolled in this study. All the patients were divided into two groups: the group with regular aerobic physical training during cardiovascular rehabilitation program phase II for 3 weeks in our rehabilitation center and 3 weeks after that in their home setting, and sedentary lifestyle group. There were no significant differences in gender distribution among the analyzed groups. Student's t-test showed no significant differences in average age, waist circumference (OS) and waist/hip ratio (WHR). Results. The degree of obesity was measured by BMI and there was a significant improvement in BMI in the patients who undertook 6-week physical training compared to the controls (p < 0.05). Physical training during 6-week appeared not to have any effects on leukocite count and ICAM-1 levels compared to controls. Exercise induced reduction in plasma CRP levels by 23.72% (p < 0.001) and reduction in plasma VCAM-1 levels by 10.23%, (p < 0.05). Conclusion. Moderate aerobic exercise resulted in a significant reduction of inflammatory state by decreasing CRP and VCAM-1 levels with significant obesity reduction but without visceral obesity reduction. The obtained results indicate that regular physical activity is clinically desirable in primary and secondary prevention of coronary heart diseases.

Topicality. Musculoskeletal pain is the most common complaint from office workers is often associated with repetitive computer work. The topical character of the problem is also due to the high level of disability, behind only respiratory diseases. For the treatment and prevention often recommend physical exercises, but patients Express concerns about physical activity and recommended exercises in the aspect of the fear of strengthening existing pain syndrome. Is of considerable clinical interest the answer to the question: can physical exercise to have an adverse effect on the condition of the patient with chronic pain syndrome. As well as what type of physical exercise the most effective for therapeutic and prophylactic purpose of office workers, mostly working with the computer. Purpose – a literature review on the issue the treatment and prevention of musculoskeletal pain with physical exercise among office workers. Conclusions. Exercise significantly improves physical health parameters, helping to reduce musculoskeletal pain and improve quality of life. Improve the ergonomics of the workplace prevents the development of carpal tunnel syndrome in the dominant hand, but does not affect an existing neck pain, shoulder, lumbar spine, and prevent them. Exercises for relaxation in the workplace reduce the sensitivity pericardialna neck muscles, reduce neck pain, headache. Strength training with weights muscle have high clinical significance and lead to significant prolonged relief of muscular pain in the neck. Total training for fitness (Nordic walking, running, Cycling) showed only a small yet statistically significant acute pain reduction. Exercise General fitness can be recommended for the organization of "life style" and improve employability. Organization of free time of an office worker in physical activity may be one way of reducing the incidence of vertebral pathology office workers. Further study of preventive health the value of physical exercise programs.

High Prevalence

This article contains a literature review of the results of experimental and clinical studies of the influence of physical exercise on the clinical course of bronchial asthma (BA) and presents the pathophysiological mechanisms of this influence. A high prevalence of sedentary lifestyle among patients with BA, its cause, and consequences are considered. Some studies have shown that patients with BA more rarely perform physical activity, and their physical exercises are less intensive and/or take shorter time. Effects of different variants of physical exercise on patients with BA are also discussed. Regular aerobic and mixed exercises of moderate intensity reliably lead to an improvement of the quality of life, reduction of exacerbations, use of inhalators on demand, nocturnal symptoms, and sleep; to a reduction of the hyperresponsiveness of the bronchi, eosinophil count in the sputum, levels of interleukin-6, and monocyte chemotactic factor-1; and to an increase in the level of interleukin-10. SOCS-JAK-STAT plays a role in the mechanism underlying the influence of aerobic exercises on inflammation, remodeling, and hyperresponsiveness of the airways by decreasing the expression of Th2 cytokines, chemokines, adhesion molecules, growth factors, NF-kB, and P2X7 receptors by the epithelium of the airways and by an increase in interleukin-10 level. Conclusion. Data available in the literature are obtained on small cohorts of foreign patients. Clinical data devoted to the influence of aerobic exercises on control of BA and parameters of the respiratory functions are contradictory. Further investigations are required in this field.
