Did you know that the effectiveness of our detox system is directly dependent on the state of our intestines and a balanced microbiome?
The detox system is our body’s natural defense. Immune cells originate mostly in the gut, thanks to the efficiency of our intestinal microbiota, why it’s so important to keep it healthy and balanced, since it depends on the effectiveness of our detox response.
And what is the microbiome and why has it been given so much hype lately?
The microbiome is a small universe of viruses, bacteria, archaebacteria, fungi, yeasts and millions of microorganisms that live with us in symbiosis under normal conditions, taking care to regulate many vital functions of our body.
The problem arises when the concentrations of these microorganisms are altered, since different health problems may arise.
In particular, we will focus on the intestinal microbiome, which is the primary regulator of our immune system. Its main functions are to provide us with essential nutrients and fights infection by pathogens. It is responsible for training our defenses, enhancing our ability to detoxify, nourishing and maintaining health and homeostasis. Do you understand now why it is so important to keep our intestines healthy?
We have now some of the problems that are generated in our body having an unbalanced microbiome due to factors such as diet, stress, taking antibiotics or unhealthy life habits:
Digestive discomfort: diarrhea, bloating, constipation, gas, nutrient malabsorption, vitamin B12 deficiency, diverticulitis, irritable bowel, etc.
Problems regulating weight.
Obesity.
allergies.
Joint inflammation.
Muscle pain.
Skin disorders: eczema, acne, pruritus.
Headaches – migraines.
Chronic fatigue.
Difficulty getting to sleep.
Irritability.
Depression.
Attention problems.
Etc…
It is important that you understand the importance of maintaining healthy intestines. A good health program should start with a plan that allows your microbiota to recover the lost balance.
And what does the feeding everything just telling you?
Well it has everything to do with it! With a good diet ideal conditions for our microbiota are in harmony and your intestines work properly. Make minor adjustments to your diet this will give rise to microbes that are nurtured properly and kept in balance to strengthen your immune system.
By approaching a diet that is natural and varied as possible, with a low digestive load and high nutritional value, it will increase our vital energy and strengthen our defenses. The lighter for the digestion, the more energy available for other vital functions.
