How to increase the number of good bacteria in the gut naturally?

Bacteria are an integral part of our lives. They can be found on the surface of the skin, in the mouth, the gut, eyes, and intimate organs. There is no need to be afraid of them because most bacteria are good for our bodies. Bacteria together make the microbiome.
If we talk separately about the good gut bacteria list in our bodies, the acquaintance with them begins at birth, when the fetus passes through the birth canal. As we live, our bodies become even more enriched with “good” bacteria, which build our immunity, as well as our susceptibility to some diseases. Bacteria are a lot like us. They are also born, eat, get sick, reproduce and die.

This condition appears as the following symptoms:

• Pain and discomfort in the bowel area
• Flatulence and increased bloating
• Bowel movements disorders
• Change of bowel movements, oily bowel movements, liquid or too thick, residues of undigested food
• Nausea, vomiting after eating
• Facial rash
• Loss of appetite, weight loss, or gain
• Psychological disorders, depression
• Allergies, especially food allergies
• Bad breath

One of the priority tasks of the bacteria in the gut is to break down food into simple molecules for the body to absorb. Consequently, the amount of nutrients we will be able to extract from food depends not only on how rich the food is, but also on how many nutrients are removed from it.
Previously in our articles, we have already written about certain types of bacteria and what influences their numbers. In this article, we will talk about the welfare of bacteria and explain what conditions are good for bacteria and their growth.

1. Food.
Your diet should be rich in prebiotic foods. There is a special article about it on our blog. Variety your diet with fermented foods: dairy products and fermented vegetables.

2. Eliminate bad habits.
Things that mercilessly kill your microflora, like smoking and alcohol.

3. Add “food” for the bacteria.
This food should be high in fiber. A complete meal is our TASLIM smoothie.

4. Eliminate fast food, sweets, smoked and spicy foods, and all chemical products from your diet. This also applies to carbonated drinks.

5. Control your stress.
We talked in our previous post how stress can kill you, because it affects many systems in our body.

6. Minimize your medication intake.
Antibiotics should always be supplemented with probiotics.

You should know, gut bacteria have no choice. They feed on what you put in your mouth. They follow your lifestyle. If you take care of their "thriving", it will undoubtedly affect your quality of life and well-being. First and foremost, change your lifestyle and your attitude towards food.
