health has a lot to do with what you eat. To take care of your intestines, you
need to keep an eye on what you eat. The first thing to do is rely on
probiotics. These bacteria improve intestinal flora and boost the immune
system. To keep your intestines healthy, you should also avoid certain types of
food, such as alcohol and fatty foods, which are detrimental to your general
health and that of your intestines.
To
preserve your intestines, you should also avoid certain types of food, such as
alcohol and fatty foods, which are detrimental to your general health and that
of your intestines. Other specific foods should be avoided. A number of studies
have proven their harmful effects on the intestinal microbiota.
Processed
pastries
Doughnuts,
pain au chocolat and cakes... most are processed and too high in sugar. A study
published in the journal « Nutriments » in 2020 demonstrated
that consuming foods with too much sugar can promote imbalance in the
intestinal microbiota.
Red
meat
Red
meat has often been criticized for its harmful effects on health.It may also
contribute to an imbalance in intestinal flora. A study published in the
journal « Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology »
showed that daily consumption of red meat increased the risk of heart disease
by around 22%. This was linked in particular to the way in which the gut
microbiome was altered by red meat consumption.
Fried
foods
A
study published in the journal « Gut » revealed that fried
foods reduce the levels of two bacterial species (faecalibacterium and
blautia), both of which are beneficial to intestinal health. Rich in trans-fatty acids, fried foods love
to fight with the insides and often lead to inflammation or exacerbation of
irritable bowel syndrome symptoms.
Processed
meats
Processed
meats are bad for your health, and your intestines are no exception. A study
published in the journal « Clinical Nutrition » has
established a link between total fat intake, particularly saturated fats, and a
reduction in the total number of bacteria present in the intestinal microbiota.
These meats are thus associated with an imbalance in intestinal flora.
Sweetened
fruit juices
Certain
fruit juices, sometimes too rich in sugar, can be bad for the intestines. According
to the journal « Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology », excess
sugar in the diet harms intestinal health by causing inflammation.It throws
intestinal bacteria out of balance and promotes symptoms such as bloating and
diarrhea. That's why it's best to choose natural juices with no added sugar.
