It is not easy for the human body to manage such a huge bacterial population. Once this balance is broken, it will lead to abdominal distension and diarrhea, low immunity, easy infection, weight loss and threat to life and health.

Most of these bacteria are beneficial bacteria, also known as probiotics, such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, which can synthesize some vitamins, participate in food digestion, promote intestinal peristalsis and inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria.

There are also harmful bacteria, the proportion is not high, usually in a state of inhibition.

There are also some bacteria that are beneficial in the intestine, but become harmful when they run outside the intestine, such as Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis. Studies have shown that the proportion of beneficial bacteria in the intestine is directly related to health status, and the proportion of beneficial bacteria is higher in people with strong constitution.

What factors will destroy the balance of intestinal flora?

The balance of intestinal flora is destroyed, a large number of harmful bacteria grow wildly, and the human body will have symptoms of diarrhea, constipation and indigestion.

1, diet

A large number of greasy and high cholesterol foods are the biggest cause of intestinal health damage. Food with strong irritation is easy to damage gastrointestinal mucosa. Overeating will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, resulting in the decline of intestinal self-regulation function, which will inevitably lead to flora imbalance.

2. Mental stress.

Undeniably, people are under great mental stress, overworked and so on. It will change the regulation ability of the stomach and intestines, and the pH value of the intestines will change slightly. If you stay in this state for a long time, it will even affect the secretion of bile and digestive enzymes, and the environment for the growth of intestinal bacteria will be destroyed.

3. medicine

Some drugs have obvious stimulation to gastrointestinal tract, which not only affects the secretion of intestinal mucus, destroys the acidity and alkalinity of intestinal tract, destroys the reproductive ability of bacteria, but also destroys gastrointestinal mucosa, leading to nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation and other symptoms. Even some drugs that abuse certain antibiotics directly inhibit or kill intestinal bacteria.

Three foods beneficial to the balance of intestinal flora

1. Intestinal favorite foods are foods rich in dietary fiber, such as grains, coarse grains, vegetables, fruits and fungi.

Everyone must have heard of the word prebiotics. It is difficult to be digested, but it can selectively stimulate the growth and activity of one or more bacteria and play the role of dominant bacteria. Isomaltooligosaccharide and fructooligosaccharide are the best representatives of prebiotics, but each probiotic needs different prebiotics. For example, Bifidobacterium is a prebiotic of Bifidobacterium.

3. Fermented foods, such as yogurt and natto. The intestinal flora likes it very much and can help create a healthy intestinal environment.
