Hot drink
Such as hot water, hot tea, hot coffee, etc. Because probiotics are active microbes, they are sensitive to temperature. In general, high temperatures of more than 45 ° C will reduce the activity of probiotics or even death. For example, when probiotics are put into freshly brewed hot tea, the high temperature of hot tea will destroy the cellular structure of probiotics, such as destroying the spatial structure of proteins and the integrity of cell membranes, so that probiotics lose their due functions of regulating intestinal flora and enhancing immunity.
A drink containing a lot of alcohol
Alcohol can have an adverse effect on probiotics. After alcohol enters the human body, it is mainly metabolized in the liver, and some alcohol is absorbed through the gastrointestinal mucosa. When taken with probiotics, alcohol may alter the environment in the gut, such as affecting the pH of the gut. Moreover, alcohol has a bactericidal effect, which will directly kill probiotics, reducing the probability of colonization and function of probiotics in the gut. For example, liquor, high-count cocktails and other drinks containing a lot of alcohol are not suitable for taking with probiotics.
Foods or drinks containing antibiotics (special cases)
Strictly speaking, while taking probiotics, if antibiotics are being used, you should try to avoid taking them at the same time. The role of antibiotics is bactericidal or antibacterial, which will not only kill harmful bacteria, but also cause damage to probiotics. Although some antibiotics and probiotics may need to be used at intervals in the treatment of certain intestinal diseases, if it is simply to supplement probiotics to regulate intestinal function, it is necessary to avoid taking it with foods or drinks containing antibiotics. For example, some meat containing antibiotic residues or some functional drinks with added antibiotic ingredients need attention. However, at present, the food and beverage formally sold on the market generally contains few antibiotic ingredients.
