From the university share According to the information made, its scientists studied 176 healthy Japanese. All had completed the age of 100 years. Scientists found in their study that there was a special mixture of bacteria and viruses in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract of all the Shatayu Japanese.
Study has shown that the presence of specific viruses in intestines can benefit our health. Study writer Jochim Johanson said that we were always eager to know why some people live such a long life. Previous researches have shown that the bacteria present in the intestines of older Japanese people produce new molecules, which provides them protection from pathogen. They are called pathogens, due to which many types of diseases are born. It consists of virus, bacteria, fungi, parasites etc. The disease caused by organisms in humans is also known as pathological diseases.
According to Jochim Johanson, the Japanese elders would have won for a long time by others only by avoiding the intestines from infection. During this study, scientists developed an algorithm to map the intestinal bacteria and bacteria viruses of Japanese, who have completed 100 years. It was compared to a group of people aged 18 to 60.
Scientists found the excellent biological diversity of bacteria and bacteria viruses in Japanese elders. Scientists believe that the presence of special bacteria and viruses in the intestines provides protection from diseases occurring during aging. Scientists say that this study can be used to increase the life expectancy of the rest of the world.
