At JK Business School, we recently dove into the fascinating world of probiotics and intestinal microbiota, exploring their significant roles in health and disease. We were honored to host Dr. Aakansha Sharma from Yakult Danone India, who shared her in-depth knowledge on this critical yet often overlooked aspect of our health.

The workshop commenced with a warm welcome for Dr. Sharma, whose expertise in the field of probiotics is both extensive and impactful. She brought to light how the billions of microorganisms residing within our gut are not merely passengers but crucial contributors to our overall health. From digestion to mental well-being, the influence of our gut’s microbiota is far-reaching.

Dr. Sharma elucidated the balance between good and bad bacteria, a delicate equilibrium that is essential for maintaining gut health. She emphasized that our lifestyle choices, including diet, exercise, and stress management, have profound effects on this balance. The discussion then moved on to how a healthy gut contributes to a robust immune system, demonstrating that our internal microbiome is an unsung hero in our fight against diseases.

Participants were particularly intrigued by the connection between gut bacteria and mental health. Dr. Sharma explained how our gut is often termed the “second brain,” highlighting the intricate communication between the gut and the brain that can influence our moods and emotions.

Furthermore, the workshop shed light on the science behind probiotics. Dr. Sharma described how these “good” bacteria, when consumed in adequate amounts, confer numerous health benefits. The session was not just theoretical; it also included practical demonstrations and samples, allowing participants to directly experience the benefits discussed.

The highlight of the event was the collaborative and interactive environment, where students, faculty, and staff at JKBS actively participated, reflecting our institute’s commitment to fostering an engaging and inquisitive academic atmosphere.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Aakansha Sharma for a truly informative session and to everyone at JKBS who contributed to the success of this event. Let’s continue to nurture our curiosity and expand our horizons for a healthier future.
