Bacteria that coexist in the intestine, skin, oral cavity, respiratory and urogenital tract of man are associated with diet and can help his health. Proper nutrition helps in the balanced presence of bacteria.
Our microbiome is influenced by many factors such as lifestyle, age, health, genetic material, environment, metabolites, hormones, defense, medication and diet. Specifically, the bacteria that live in the intestine protect the structure of the intestinal mucosa and regulate its motility. They also contribute to the digestion and breakdown of food, reduce the likelihood of inflammation, and strengthen the body’s defenses. The health of the intestine and the prevention of nutritional inflammation, is one of the key factors in preventing important pathological conditions and leads to the improvement of our weight, while ensuring maximum health and well-being.
