• Abstract:

  The intestine is composed of thousands of microorganisms that are essential for the correct functioning of the various structures of the human body, where the lack of them can cause an imbalance known as intestinal dysbiosis. This imbalance can be caused by several situations, including the irrational use of antibiotics, due to the fact that the drug directly attacks the intestinal microbiota. Recent studies point to dysbiosis as a possible cause of some pathologies, such as obesity and depression, disorders that are currently much discussed. A viable way used to restore the microbiota in cases of imbalances are prebiotics and probiotics that can be acquired through a balanced diet and also with the use of supplements. The methodology was characterized as exploratory, with studies by some authors who contributed significantly to the theme for the production of the video, as a resource for awareness and health promotion about intestinal dysbiosis. This present work aims to inform professors, professionals and students in the health area about intestinal dysbiosis induced by the irrational use of antibiotics, with the aim of promoting awareness and health promotion in a multidisciplinary way, using audiovisual resources, with intention of a didactic superior to the conventional ones. One of the many challenges to popularize correct health information is to bring scientific concepts and information closer to people's daily lives in a simple and easily accessible way.
