| Abstract | ||||
| Macrobiotic diet is based on perfect balance of acid ,alkaline, potassium, and sodium and is suggested to maintain good human health. Macrobiotics include cereals, vegetables , beans, sea vegetables, coffee , and herbal teas, yet it is reported as an unconventional fad diet. Probiotics include group of live safe lactic acid producing bacteria as Bifidobacterium spp. and Lactobacillus spp. Prebiotics are high fiber substances used by probiotics to improve and balance the gut microbiota, by synbiotic-symbiotic effect. Psycobiotics are probiotics that have effects on the gut-brain axis. Eubiotic (eubiosis) is good balanced state of microbiota . Dysbiotic (dysbiotic ) is an imbalanced state which may cause diseases, due to the decrease of beneficial bacteria, and increase of pathogens. Postbioticts are produced through probiotic fermentation or after cells lysis . Postbiotics are metabolites as enzymes , proteins, peptides , fatty acids ,organic acids , polysaccharides ,peptidoglycan , other bioactive compounds , and fragments of cell wall, of health benefits without live microorganisms. Postbiotics are considered as the new horizons of microbial functional bioactive compounds in food preservation industry and food safety. Pharmabiotics are bacterial cells of human gut origin, or their products, with a proven pharmacological role in health or disease | ||||
