Indispensable for a healthy intestinal flora:
-
Fiber-rich diet: dietary fiber is indispensable for the health of your intestinal flora. These fibers are indigestible and come from plant foods. With a shortage of these dietary fibers, intestinal bacteria cannot survive. That's why eating raw fruits and vegetables is so important. After all, these are soluble and kinder to your intestinal wall. Animal foods such as meat, fish, milk and eggs do not contain dietary fiber Limit animal food: therefore limit the consumption of meat, dairy and eggs as much as possible. These disrupt the functioning of the intestines. Drink enough water: Gut bacteria need a moist environment to live. Lack of water can cause constipation or constipation and in extreme cases even dehydration. That will slow your metabolism or metabolism. Therefore, eat enough raw fruits and vegetables every day and drink at least three liters of water. Chew well: is essential for a smooth digestion. Chewing well increases your feeling of satiety, so that you will usually not eat too much and you will not feel hungry for longer. Avoiding bloating: Combining sweet foods and especially fruit with fatty foods increases your risk of bloating. Avoid refined sugars: these do not contain dietary fiber and healthy nutrients and therefore put your intestinal flora out of balance. Fruit is a healthy exception. Fermented produce: including red wine, sauerkraut and any superimposed vegetables, sourdough bread, and probiotics bursting with good bacteria Give your body plenty of rest: allow your intestines to rest in time and get the necessary rest and preferably go to sleep with an empty stomach.
