Why does balanced gut flora have a vital effect on immunity?

Industrialized and processed diets combined with stress and anxiety are the leading causes of unbalanced intestinal flora. An imbalance in gut flora impairs the immune system, which fights relentlessly to prevent the overgrowth of pathogens. Our lifestyle and diet have a significant impact on our immune system and mood.

Dietary fiber, natural oils/fats, and naturally fermented foods are critical to maintaining good health.

Industrialized and processed food harms the digestive system and the immune system.

• Poor nutrition of processed and industrialized foods significantly affects the liver and kidneys. Bile fluid, a strong chemical base, tends to crystallize and clog the liver and gallbladder; thus, the problem only worsens. Bile flow is critical for maintaining proper gastrointestinal function. It is oily and lubricates the intestines; it also counteracts the high acidity of the food from the stomach, thereby preventing an acidic intestinal environment.

Common symptoms of intestinal flora imbalance:

• • Gastrointestinal gases are usually the result of a territorial "war" between good and pathogenic bacteria.
  • An impaired immune system results in higher fever, flu, and morbidity of gastric ulcer.
  • The urine is usually more acidic at pH levels of 6 and below. Parasites "thrive" in the acidic gut environment.
  • An imbalance in gut flora impairs the brain's neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, expressed in decreased alertness and cognitive ability.
  • The uncontrolled proliferation of gastrointestinal pathogens damages the intestinal wall, impairing intestinal absorption. Constipation and abdominal obesity are common phenomena not always attributed to a lack of balance in gut flora.

The neurotransmitter serotonin is mainly produced in the intestines using good bacteria. An unbalanced intestinal flora reduces serotonin production and causes a decrease in alertness and mood.

The balanced-varied diet is the most suitable anti-inflammatory diet.

Why does a balanced gut flora have a far-reaching effect on the immune system?

1. What is the leading cause of an imbalance in the intestinal flora?

The gastrointestinal tract is the primary non-sterile internal system, forcing the immune system to fight relentlessly to prevent the overgrowth of pathogens.

 Industrialized and processed food and beverages.

 Food that contains oils and fats.

 Carbohydrates and starches.

 Coffee and tea.
