Stappenbeck and Steed identified one such microbe that they suspected might protect against flu damage. Follow Futurity RSSTwitterFacebookNewsletterA particular gut microbe can fight severe lung damage from flu infections in mice, likely by breaking down naturally occurring compounds—called flavonoids—commonly found in foods such as black tea, red wine, and blueberries, researchers believe. As part of the study, the researchers screened human gut microbes looking for one that metabolized flavonoids. "The microbes and DAT didn't prevent the flu infection itself; the mice still had the virus. Previous evidence suggests that the gut microbiome may be important in protecting against severe influenza infections, so in this study, the researchers aimed to identify just what gut microbes might provide that protection.

Drink black tea and red wine to limit flu symptoms, researchers say

A compound found in foods such as black tea, red wine and blueberries can prevent severe flu infections in mice, according to new research published in the journal Science. In this study, the researchers aimed to identify which gut microbes might provide that protection. They identified one such microbe that they suspect might protect against flu damage. The research, by the Washington University School of Medicine, also indicates that consuming the plant flavonoids before flu develops will limit its impact. But the DAT kept the immune system from harming the lung tissue,' Stappenbeck said.

Drink tea and wine to reduce flu symptoms, says research

It is thought consuming the plant flavonoid compound before flu develops may reduce symptoms and flu's impact. Find out what to eat to have healthy gut bacteria here. While flavonoids are plant compounds that are thought to have potential health benefits, we don't recommend you start glugging red wine in order to prevent flu, as further research is needed. Both groups of mice experienced the same levels of flu infection, which showed DAT didn't prevent the flu itself – but "kept the immune system from harming the lung tissue."
