Radiant skin and hair are universally recognized as indications of good health. However, this ‘glow of health’ display remains poorly understood. We found that feeding of probiotic bacteria to aged mice induced integumentary changes mimicking peak health and reproductive fitness characteristic of much younger animals. Eating probiotic yogurt triggered epithelial follicular anagen-phase shift with sebocytogenesis resulting in thick lustrous fur due to a bacteria-triggered interleukin-10-dependent mechanism. Aged male animals eating probiotics exhibited increased subcuticular folliculogenesis, when compared with matched controls, yielding luxuriant fur only in probiotic-fed subjects. Female animals displayed probiotic-induced hyperacidity coinciding with shinier hair, a feature that also aligns with fertility in human females. Together these data provide insights into mammalian evolution and novel strategies for integumentary health.
The assays are mainly focused on hair shine, hair follicle thickness and skin histology. Yogurt-fed mice showed thicker hair follicle, shinier hair, therefor healthier mice. Acidic vaginal pH correlates with peak fertility, and yogurt-fed female mice have significantly lower (acidic) vaginal pH values. Even tough future testing is necessary, very interesting results.
Just an overview of the known benefits of yogurt:
- Reduce blood pressure
- Helps gut functions
- Lowers vaginal infection risks
The name is Turkish, the origins are unknown. Must eaten!!!
