Having a healthy gut flora is important for overall health.
Therefore, avoid these 6 things because they can disrupt the balance of the gut microbiome.
1. Not consuming a variety of foods
A diet rich in whole foods provides a variety of nutrients that help promote the growth of diverse bacteria. Adopt a diet rich in fiber and a variety of good plant-based protein sources, one of which is Nutrilite TM Hi Protein All Plant which is easy to serve and can be mixed into food without changing the taste of food/drinks.
- Nutrilite TM Hi Protein is made from soybeans, wheat and yellow peas.
- Nutrilite TM Hi Protein contains 9 complete amino acids that the body needs.
- Nutrilite TM Hi Protein 13-17 gr protein/serving (varies for each variant).
2. Lack of prebiotics in the diet
Prebiotics are a type of fiber that passes through the body without being digested and encourages the growth and activity of friendly gut bacteria. If you don’t get enough from food, consume Nutrilite TM Hi Fiber which is made from 3 natural sources of fiber (chicory extract, guar gum, and maltodextrin), packaged in a practical sachet.
3. Frequent use of antibiotics
Antibiotics typically cause a short-term decrease in beneficial bacteria, such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli, and can increase harmful bacteria such as Clostridium.
4. Lack of regular physical activity
Physical activity has a number of health benefits, from weight loss, reduced risk of chronic disease, to improved gut health.
5. Not enough sleep
The gut also follows a daily circadian rhythm, a 24-hour internal clock that affects the brain, body, and hormones. Disrupting the body’s clock can have a negative impact on gut bacteria.
6. Too much stress
Excessive stress can increase sensitivity, reduce blood flow and change gut bacteria.
