Gut Flora Balance

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

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

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

• An imbalance in gut flora affects the immune system that fights relentlessly to prevent the overgrowth of pathogens. Our lifestyle and diet have a significant impact on our 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.
• Nail fungus, Viginal fungus in women. 
• Farting & bloating. 
• An impaired immune system results in higher fever, flu, and morbidity of gastric ulcer.
• The urine is usually more acidic at P.H. levels of 6 and below. The explanation is that 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 production of the neurotransmitter serotonin is mainly carried out in the intestines using good bacteria. An unbalanced intestinal flora reduces serotonin production and causes a decrease in alertness and mood.

The uncontrolled proliferation of gastrointestinal pathogens causes damage to the intestinal wall that impairs intestinal absorption. Constipation and abdominal obesity are common phenomena not always attributed to gut flora's lack of balance.

To achieve a balanced gut flora, eat varied and natural foods and beverages that are not processed or industrialized. Dietary fiber, natural oils and fats, and fermented foods (naturally) significantly contribute to gut health. Maintaining a balanced gut flora has far-reaching implications for our immune system.
