The care of the "friendly" intestinal bacteria implies a relaxed, conscious and natural lifestyle.
10 simple tricks to take care of your intestinal flora:
A damaged intestinal flora can cause you a lot of discomfort in the day to day. We teach you to take care of your flora so that you feel better than ever. - Choose the fiber: The most beneficial is that which comes from the vegetables or from the pulp of the fruit. - Relax: Practice some relaxation technique, such as meditation, and lead a quiet lifestyle that avoids the effects of stress hormones on the microbiota. - Get active: Daily physical exercise of medium intensity (the heart must accelerate) increases the diversity of digestive bacteria and in particular those that help to metabolize fats (they will not become energy reserves). - Pay attention: Eat consciously, paying attention to food, its texture, aroma and taste, with thought centered in the moment. - Listen to your body: Instead of following other people's advice, experience which foods feel better and which cause you discomfort. - Eat calmly: Chew each bite until it turns into porridge and avoids all agitation. A meal too lively can cause you a heavy digestion. - Avoid alcohol: When you tend to flatulence, it is advisable to reduce alcoholic beverages because some gastrointestinal bacteria use alcohol as food and are large producers of gas. - Beware of antibiotics: Take them only when necessary and agree with your doctor to take a probiotic at the same time, a supplement that gives you an extra of these beneficial bacteria. - Investigate gluten: Some people feel better if they reduce or eliminate the presence in their diet of cereals with gluten. - Avoid emulsifiers: Avoid sweeteners and emulsifying additives.
