Recent studies show that there is a direct link between the intestinal microflora and the health of the whole organism. The balance that exists in the intestine should not be upset: the microflora is in a state of equilibrium due to the presence of those bacteria that cleanse the body of toxins and toxins. Once a failure occurs, many health problems arise.
According to studies, approximately 500 species of microbes live in the intestines. In a child who has just been born, the number of beneficial bacteria is about 96%, and in an adult, ideally, they should be more than pathogenic, but most often there are about 12%, sometimes there are times when this percentage decreases to 1.
Violation of the intestinal microflora leads to serious violations of human health. Anemia, hop multivitaminosis, or signs of dystrophy may occur. Moreover, this list is far from complete. Every person with this kind of problem exposes his body to the danger of developing many diseases. Of course, now it is difficult to meet people with an ideal state of the body, but microflora disturbance negatively affects human development and leads to a number of diseases.
Often, the person himself becomes the cause of this kind of failure. Because, taking certain drugs, not following a diet and not adhering to a healthy lifestyle, we endanger ourselves. The most common factor that causes a violation of the intestinal microflora is the use of antibiotics. It is these drugs, along with pathogenic microorganisms, that destroy the beneficial ones. Also, the main reasons that top the list of risk factors include smoking, drinking alcohol, the presence in the diet of spicy and fatty foods, sweets.
If you eat foods that are low in fiber, this can provoke a violation of the intestinal microflora. The thing is that it is it that is the necessary food for beneficial bacteria.
Hormonal drugs and stress hormones, which are produced in our body during severe nervous stresses, have a negative effect. They provoke the death of the bacteria we need.
Lactobacilli, which are part of the beneficial intestinal microflora, live not only in the intestine. They protect the vaginal mucosa from pathogenic fungi and bacteria. Violation of their balance leads to unpleasant discharge, which women can then treat for several months.
The beneficial intestinal microflora consists of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria. These are anaerobic elements that multiply without oxygen. Lactic acid bacteria produce lactic and acetic acid, which helps maintain intestinal pH levels within normal limits. The development of other beneficial substances helps lower cholesterol, fight infections of the gastrointestinal tract, and also stimulate intestinal motility.
If it is necessary to restore the intestinal microflora, you need to start doing this immediately. To do this, you need to enrich your diet with bifidobacteria, taking special preparations or biological additives. Only the doctor who studied your disease and its causes can tell you their names. Self-medication will negatively affect your health.
Few people know that a violation of the intestinal microflora leads to an increase in body weight. The fact is that probiotics (beneficial bacteria) contribute to the normalization of digestion, while the process of absorption and deposition of fat changes. Therefore, maintaining the necessary balance of these substances leads to a decrease in body weight.
Since 80% of the immune system is concentrated in the intestine, maintaining the balance of microflora is a necessity for every person.
Therefore, if you want to be healthy and live a long life, do not rush to be treated with pills and antibiotics. Perhaps you should first check your intestines and treat them. This will help get rid of many problems.
