Popular science of functional medicine-the importance of maintaining the balance of intestinal flora

In our intestines, there are many flora structures, and the normal flora state maintains the ecological balance of the intestines. However, there are many kinds of flora in the small intestine, and there will be some microbial overgrowth flora, which has a great impact on human health. If the intestinal flora is out of balance, it will cause inflammatory intestinal diseases, or food allergies, or ectopic eczema, some fatigue, arthritis or malnutrition.

Many people may not have a certain understanding of intestinal flora, or even pay attention to the impact of disharmony of flora on people's health, so this article will simply introduce some to you:

In the intestine, there will be some overgrowth of flora, which will interfere with the imbalance of ecological balance in the intestine, but what is the reason?

1. Eat too much sugar and starch.

2. Excessive use of antibiotics

3. Stress and sympathetic nerve excitement

4. Poor digestive function

5. Inflammation

Be infected

7. Exposure to toxins and poisons

8. Decreased immune defense ability

9. Low stomach acid

10. Other unknown reasons

Many patients are sick, and they will take a lot of antibiotics to fight the problem of pathogen infection. If the patient's symptoms do not improve significantly, he will continue to increase the dose or use more powerful antibiotics. Such continuous destruction will seriously interfere with human intestinal flora and make patients' immunity lower.

The beneficial bacteria in our intestines need the body to eat rich vegetables and dietary fiber, because a high-fiber diet is more suitable for the growth of beneficial bacteria. However, if your daily diet is unhealthy, you eat too much poisonous meat, which may contain a lot of hormones and antibiotics. This diet will gradually rot in the body, harmful bacteria will flourish, and eventually there will be the problem of intestinal ecological imbalance.

At this time, there is a normal normal bacteria called Bacteroides, which has the problem of growing too fast, but at the same time it will release toxins and harmful substances-ammonia.

The increase of ammonia will make our intestines alkaline, reduce the production of butyrate and lead to insufficient nutrients in the intestines, but bile salts and estrogen will increase, which will increase the risk of colon cancer and breast cancer.

If this is not enough for your attention, when these destructive flora overgrow, their increase is toxic to the intestine and will lead to a vicious circle in the body. Therefore, it is very necessary to maintain a normal intestinal ecology.
