Nutrition expert Alexey Kabanov spoke about foods that can improve the functioning of the digestive system.
The human microbiome is a collection of bacteria that inhabit our body and play an important role in life processes, metabolism and the formation of immunity. They fight harmful microorganisms and prevent chronic inflammation, which can lead to cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and oncology, writes Pravda.Ru.
The main reason for disruption of the microbiome is the excessive use of antibiotics, which destroy the bacterial balance. Most antibiotics enter our body through meat and dairy products, as manufacturers use antibiotics when feeding animals. This can lead to problems with obesity, gastrointestinal diseases and metabolic disorders.
To improve the functioning of the digestive system, it is recommended to balance your diet and add more fiber to your diet. It is found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes. You can also consume plant-based meat analogues that do not contain saturated animal fats. It is also important to reduce your intake of added sugar and carefully study the ingredients of products before purchasing.
An imbalance in bacterial defenses can lead to a variety of health problems, so it’s important to pay attention to your diet and choose foods that will help keep your microbiome functioning properly.
