Abstract

Introduction: The interest in probiotics has increased significantly in recent years. While most probiotic-containing foods are dairy-based, an increasing number of non-dairy probiotic products have emerged, including kombucha. Kombucha is a fermented tea beverage originating from China, known for its high polyphenol content and potential health benefits. Methods: This literature review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the health benefits of kombucha. A systematic search of published studies was conducted using the keywords "kombucha," "antioxidant," "anti-inflammatory," "antimicrobial," and "gut microbiota modulation." Only English-language articles were included, and there was no restriction on publication date to capture the full spectrum of research on kombucha. Results: Kombucha exhibits significant antioxidant capacity, with green tea kombucha demonstrating the highest Ferric Ion Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) due to its high polyphenol content. Additionally, kombucha possesses antimicrobial properties attributed to organic acids, lactones, aldehydes, fatty acids, and alkaloids, which act synergistically. It also exhibits anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting nitric oxide production and downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β and TNF-α. Furthermore, kombucha modulates gut microbiota composition by inhibiting the growth of Gram-negative bacteria, leading to reduced systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. Conclusion: Kombucha, a traditional fermented tea, has notable health benefits, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and gut microbiota-modulating properties. These findings highlight its potential as a functional beverage for health promotion. Keywords: kombucha – antioxidant - anti-inflammatory – antimicrobial - gut microbiota modulation

Abstract

Early childhood development, particularly within the first 1,000 days of life, is a critical period. Globally, 5–16% of children experience developmental delays. This figure is higher in Indonesia with approximately 13–18% of children under five are facing growth and developmental issues. Adequate stimulation, including activities like tummy time, plays a vital role in a child's growth and development. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between tummy time and the developmental outcomes of infants aged 6–12 months. An analytical descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach was employed in this study that was conducted at Public Health Centers in North Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. Data collection involved questionnaires assessing the onset, frequency, and duration of tummy time, alongside the use of the Child Development Pre-Screening Questionnaire. With a minimum sample size of 96 respondents, data were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation. Findings indicated that performing tummy time more than 1–2 times per week, with each session lasting 6–20 minutes, was significantly associated with better developmental outcomes. However, no significant relationship was observed between early initiation of tummy time or the number of daily sessions with infant development. The study concluded that engaging in tummy time more than 1-2 times per week for 6-20 minutes per session can promote optimal infant development.
