A gang of pests has taken over the intestines
Invisible to the eye, violators have issued an ultimatum: sugar, fast food and acne.
Where did they come from?
And most importantly, how to resist them?
Let's start with the obvious: the condition of the skin, hair, nails directly depends on the inhabitants of your intestines.
– Wait! Do I have someone living there too? Like in the "Alien" movies? Do I need to see a doctor?
Yes, you are not alone. Only you don't live next to monsters from horror movies, but with your microbiome.
It's no joke – you've sheltered about two kilograms of microbe friends. For them, the intestines are a real home, so they are interested in maintaining order in their home. And they establish a fairly close relationship with your body.
→ Without them, you will not digest food and will not absorb nutrients.
→ Their selective permeability plays the role of customs:
– Hey, who are you, Lectin? Entry is prohibited!
– Oh, small molecules of the right substances? Come on in, we're waiting for you.
– Attention! A toxin has been detected! Launch the "Liquidation" program.
→ The cooperation of microflora with the immune system is only in your favor.
So what can change such a harmonious life?
Your habits.
You feed your hardworking neighbors. For example, resistant starch is their favorite delicacy. For such a treat, microbes stimulate the formation of intestinal mucosal cells. And they, in turn, produce mucus, which will become a barrier to dangerous lectins and toxins.
And you strike the first blow yourself.
Whole grain bread, pasta and sausages, cupcake covered with chocolate icing.
After such a "garbage" meal, friends-neighbors are replaced by a real gang – harmful microbes. And taking care of their house is not part of their plans. They constantly provoke: "Eat fast food and more!"
Your skin reacts sharply to invaders
