Building healthy intestinal flora

 

Did you know that the gut bacteria change the way our brains work?

Eetgedrag en voedingskeuzes worden door intestinal flora affected and there is also a relationship between gut and autism.

De flora beïnvloeden zelfs het risico op/ en verloop van neurologische en psychologische stoornissen. The trillion microbes in the human body collectively make up the microbiome. They weigh about 1 to 3 pounds, live in the gut and aid in digestion (and the extraction of fatty acids, vitamins and minerals from the diet), plus they protect against infection.

Meerdere recente onderzoeken laten zien dat ze nog veel meer doen. Hun invloed gaat verder dan darmen en reikt tot en met hersenen. Stemming, emotie, trek, eetlust, verzadiging en zelfs leer- en geheugencapaciteiten, psychische en neurologische stoornissen hangen samen met de darmflora.

De functies van de darmbacteriën  zijn o.a:

  • Development of the immune system
  • Assist with bowel movements and bowel dexterity
  • Maintaining intestinal cell barrier integrity (keeping the good  things in and the bad things out)
  • Help with the digestion and absorption of certain vitamins and minerals
  • Control of fat absorption and distribution

Most people, including many doctors, don't realize that 80 percent of your immune system resides in the digestive tract. Making intestines healthy is an important focal point for achieving optimal health. In fact, the cause of many health problems is related to an imbalance in the intestinal flora.

Kombucha is a spicy, effervescent tea - usually black or green. The drink is often flavored with herbs or fruits. You can find it in many health food stores and some farmers' markets. A small amount of alcohol is also produced during fermentation - usually less than 0.5% alcohol by volume.
