It is now known that the intestine is one of the most important organs in the human body. It is directly linked to brain function, hormone secretion, absorption of trace elements and nutrients, and elimination of waste products from the body. The intestine determines our overall health and well-being.<\/p>\n
So how do we maintain the functioning of the digestive system at an optimal level?<\/p>\n
Prebiotics are a form of dietary fiber that is friendly to the \u201cgood\u201d bacteria in your gut. They are the food for probiotics. They are found in large quantities in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. They maintain good gut health while providing a feeling of fullness after a meal.<\/p>\n
Secondly, we avoid highly processed foods, such as cookies, packaged sweets, candies, margarine, chips, fast food and products of unknown origin and quality, as well as too much salt or sugar. These disrupt the normal microbiota of the gut.<\/p>\n
We choose foods rich in fiber. These include legumes, fruits, vegetables, and whole grain products. Although fiber is not absorbed by the body, it has a significant role in our body. It contributes to good intestinal health, preventing gastrointestinal disorders and constipation. At the same time, it is a shield against cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and obesity, while helping to maintain normal blood glucose levels.<\/p>\n
The gut is the second brain, as it turns out. The functioning of the digestive system is inextricably linked to psychology. Therefore, by improving the management of stress levels, we will have improvements in both gut function and our overall health.<\/p>\n
Probiotics and fermented foods such as kefir or yogurt. By consuming them, we contribute to maintaining the intestinal microflora and improving the function of the intestinal barrier. In addition, probiotics contribute to the body's defenses and to maintaining a healthy body weight.<\/p>\n
