Is Candida Making You Fat?: A Path to Natural Health: Naturopathic Doctors

Is Candida Making You Fat?: A Path to Natural Health: Naturopathic Doctors

Do you find yourself struggling with a strong, sometimes uncontrollable, sweet tooth? Do you get bloated or feel swollen after eating sugar or carbohydrates? Is your clothing size going up each season? If you answered yes to any of these questions then there’s a chance Candida overgrowth may be causing your symptoms.

Over the last few weeks, we have been discussing Candida Overgrowth, or yeast infection, all its various causes and symptoms. If you want to catch up read the previous articles in this series:

• Part 1: Candida – The Most Misunderstood Chronic Health Problem
• Part 2: Is Your Sugar Addiction Feeding Your Intestinal Candida?
• Part 3: Is Candida Overgrowth Causing Your Chronic Gas & Bloating?
• Part 4: Rashes and Candida – The Connection between Skin and Gut

Today I am going to talk about how underlying Candida overgrowth can not only make you fat, but also make it near impossible to shed those extra pounds. If you find that you have been struggling with your weight and uncontrollable sugar cravings over the years then you may have an undiagnosed Candida condition.

As we saw in part two of this series (Is Your Sugar Addiction Feeding Your Intestinal Candida?), Candida is a simple organism that needs only a warm, dark, moist, sugar-filled environment in order to thrive; precisely the environment our digestive system provides.

Candida eats sugar in any form – and lots of it. So, when we eat sugar either as candy or in the less obvious form of pasta, breads and potatoes (which are carbohydrates broken down into simple sugars), the Candida that lives in our gut gets a good feed and begins to grow. The bigger and stronger it gets, the more food it requires and so we start to crave the foods it wants. In this case, sugar. Lots and lots of sugar!

When you have a Candida overgrowth the sugar cravings are not in your control. Try as you might, you cannot will yourself away from those cookies. The Candida inside your gut is driving your sugar cravings which increase as the Candida starts to demand more and more of its favorite food. The more sugar you eat, the more sugar you want to eat – it becomes a vicious cycle and, as a result, you wind up consuming more sugar and more carbohydrates than your body needs and you start to gain more and more weight – and this weight is stubborn! No matter how hard you try to lose it, it just won’t shift. No matter how much diet and exercise you try the scale will not budge and this can be extremely frustrating.

This is not just true for us mere mortals. Even high-performance athletes struggle with Candida and the resultant stubborn weight gain.

 A Short Case Study

“James”, a long distance cyclist came to me because he was suffering from chronic digestive symptoms and bloating. He had been on strict diets for years to maximize his athletic performance. After blood-work revealed he had food sensitivities and Candida overgrowth I put him on a food elimination diet and Candida cleanse. James had an intense exercise schedule and had been cycling for many years but it was only after he did the Candida cleanse that he reported he was finally able to  shift those last 10 pounds he had been trying to lose for years. He said he knew that it had to be diet-related since it did not matter how much he exercised he just could not lose the weight. One of the issues with athletes is they often consume pure sugar and/or simple carbohydrates to give them the energy they need to be able to exercise for long periods of time. Of course, this is exactly what Candida needs to flourish and so overgrowth often follows. In James’ case, and for many other patients I have treated over the years, it is not until we treat the underlying Candida that they are able to drop the extra weight they have been trying to lose.

How to Lose Stubborn Candida Weight

There are many diet plans out there and most people do well losing weight on various kinds of low-carbohydrate, low-calorie diet. However, for those people who struggle with Candida overgrowth the typical weight-loss diet plans simply don’t work. In my experience, in order to shift stubborn Candida weight you need to eliminate sugar and carbohydrates completely from your diet. In addition to this you need to treat the underlying yeast overgrowth by cutting out pasta, bread, potatoes, fruit, honey, candy, ice cream, pizza, and alcohol while killing off the yeast and repopulating the gut with healthy bacteria.  For the individuals who struggle with Candida overgrowth weight loss is accelerated when we address the Candida overgrowth.

How Do We Treat It?

Candida overgrowth can be the hidden culprit in people who have an inability to lose weight, even after they have tried the standard low-carbohydrate weight-loss diets. If you suspect you might have Candida overgrowth and would like to find out more about my specially designed Yeast and Candida Detox Program, please book an appointment today.  This is a three-tiered treatment that:

*Eliminates the foods that cause the yeast to grow
*Kills off the yeast
*Repopulates the intestines with healthy bacteria

Is Candida Overgrowth Causing Your Chronic Gas & Bloating?: A Path to Natural Health: Naturopathic Doctors

Part 1: Candida – The Most Misunderstood Chronic Health Problem

Part 2: Is Your Sugar Addiction Feeding Your Intestinal Candida?

Do you find that after eating a meal your stomach bloats up and your pants feel tight? Does your belly swell up at the end of the day and, despite what you eat, you just can’t prevent it? Do you suffer from embarrassing gas? If any of these scenarios sounds familiar then you may have intestinal yeast over-growth, or Candida. In this article I will briefly examine possible causes of gas and bloating before looking in greater depth at an often under-diagnosed cause, Candida. I will explain how we get Candida in the first place, how it causes this uncomfortable and embarrassing bloating, how to treat it and what happens when you don’t.

Causes of Intestinal Bloating

There are several reasons you can get chronic gas and bloating other than Candida, here are just a few:

Constipation or sluggish bowel movements

When you don’t have a bowel movement regularly all the undigested food particles, bacteria and waste in your intestines produce more gas. More frequent elimination reduces the gas produced from slow moving stool. Constipation may also make it harder to pass gas and therefore lead to increased bloating and abdominal pain.

Insufficient or low pancreatic enzymes

The digestive enzymes, amylase, protease and lipase that are produced in the pancreas break down (or digest) the protein, fat and carbohydrates in the food we eat while it is travelling through the small intestines. If we do not have sufficient enzymes then they are unable to properly break down our food. This poorly digested food will cause increased gas and bloating when it reaches the large intestine.

Gallbladder problems

Either gallstones or sluggish bile from the gallbladder will cause gas & bloating. Similar to the pancreatic enzymes, the bile stored in the gallbladder works like a detergent on our fats to help us digest it. When we don’t digest our fats properly we will have increased gas and bloating.

Small Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth (SIBO)

The small intestine does not house as much bacteria as the large intestine and if they overgrow this can also cause increased gas and abdominal bloating. SIBO can be triggered by certain medications, for example over-use of antacids.  Other possible causes are anatomical or structural defects and surgeries done in the small intestine.

If you feel like your symptoms are not caused by a Candida overgrowth then each possible cause can be diagnosed and treated by your Naturopathic Physician, if you would like to discuss your symptoms with me you can contact me!

Candida – How Did It Start?

Candida is a fungus, or yeast, that lives naturally in all our bodies. When it is in the right balance with our good gut bacteria there are no problems – it is when things get out of balance that the trouble starts. For many people, the initial imbalance occurs when we take our very first round of oral antibiotics (that is those we swallow not those we are given in hospital via an IV drip).

Unfortunately, the good bacteria in our intestinal tract are an innocent casualty of the sweeping effect of antibiotics. The job of antibiotics is to kill the bacteria that are making us sick however, because there are so many species of bacteria present in our intestines, both good and bad, antibiotics will not just kill the bad bacteria but will indiscriminately kill the good ones too. This leaves more room for the Candida that lives in our gut to grow and over-populate the intestinal tract causing a whole raft of seemingly unconnected symptoms including gas and bloating.

Once you have an imbalance in your gut bacteria there are several things that can contribute to its over growth including:

• Excessive consumption of sugar
• Oral birth control
• Pregnancy
• Oral steroids
• Stress
• Food sensitivities

Why Does The Swelling Happen?

Gas and bloating occur when bacteria in the intestines digest the sugars and starches we eat. Different bacteria produce different levels of gas so, when our intestinal bacteria (flora) are out of balance we can have more of the bacteria that produce high levels of gas and this will cause more bloating. In addition to the imbalance in intestinal flora, the sugars in our diet feed an abundance of yeast in our gut causing it to ferment and, just like when making bread, our intestines begin to “rise” resulting in uncomfortable swelling and bloating.

How Do I Know The Cause Of My Gas And Bloating?

There are a couple of tests we can do to determine if you have Candida overgrowth:

*A simple IgG blood test can tell if you are reacting to yeast; if the body is irritated by yeast it will show up as a positive reaction on the test results.

*Stool testing can also be done to look for the species of yeast that is causing your problems and the quantity of overgrowth.

However in my experience, the best way to determine if Candida overgrowth is causing your symptoms is to do a Candida cleanse.

What is a Candida Cleanse?

As Candida is so often found to be the culprit when patients come to me with a range of seemingly unrelated, untreatable symptoms, I have designed a special Yeast and Candida Detox Program. This is a three-tiered treatment that:

*Eliminates the foods that cause the yeast to grow
*Kills off the yeast
*Repopulates the intestines with healthy bacteria

When you treat the Candida, your gas and bloating, as well as other symptoms such as skin rashes, toe nail fungus, brain fog, food allergies and leaky gut should all disappear.

What Happens If I Don’t Treat My Candida?

Chronic yeast overgrowth in the intestines will lead to increased leaky gut syndrome. This is where the cells of the intestinal wall, that should be tightly packed, swell up causing tiny gaps to appear in the tight junctions. These gaps allow food particles that are not properly digested and broken down to be absorbed into the blood. Any food particle in the blood shouldn’t be there and is therefore considered an antigen and the immune system will trigger an immune response, attacking the foreign body just as it would for a virus that was making you ill. This is a vicious cycle that will lead to more leaky gut, more food reactions and more Candida overgrowth and more unpleasant symptoms.

How Will I Feel After I Treat It?

When you treat intestinal overgrowth of Candida the first improvement you notice is that you no longer have the chronic gas and bloating. With the good bacteria growing in the intestines your immune system improves so you get fewer infections. Your regularity of bowel movements is restored and both diarrhea and constipation either resolve or improve. In addition to this, creating a well-balanced gut ecology that is full of good bacteria means that we heal our leaky gut so food sensitivities decrease. And if all that isn’t enough you should also notice your energy improving, you should start losing weight and any red, itchy skin will clear up. Finally, amazingly enough, your cravings for sugar will go away too.

If you suspect you might have Candida overgrowth and would like to find out more about my specially designed Yeast and Candida Detox Program, please book an appointment today.

An antifungal diet is an effective way to fight fungal diseases of the skin and nails. The article describes the features of such a diet, its benefits and basic principles. Useful information for anyone who has encountered these problems and is looking for the most effective treatment.

Fungal diseases of the skin and nails are quite common, especially during the hot and humid season. And far from always, treatment includes only the use of local preparations and creams. An antifungal diet is one of the most effective ways to fight fungus.

The antifungal diet avoids certain foods such as sugar, butter, dairy products, alcohol and yeast. Instead, increase your intake of vegetables, fruits, leafy greens, nuts, and legumes.

If you are faced with fungal diseases of the skin and nails, it is recommended to consult a specialist and follow all recommendations for treatment. An antifungal diet is just an additional method of fighting the fungus.

Antifungal diet: the key to healthy skin and nails

In the fight against fungal diseases of the skin and nails, it is very important not only the use of special products, but also proper nutrition. An antifungal diet is a special diet that helps strengthen the body’s defenses and fight infection from the inside.

To enhance the protective properties of the body in the diet, you need to add foods that are rich in antioxidants and vitamins, especially vitamins B, C and E. For example, these can be nuts, green tea, sea buckthorn and citrus fruits.

• So, the antifungal diet is:
• – the exclusion of foods that promote the growth of the fungus;
• – eating lots of vegetables, fruits and green vegetables;
• – eating poultry or fish;
• – Adding foods rich in vitamins and antioxidants.

Remember, proper nutrition is one of the keys to fighting fungal infections. Try to balance your diet and avoid high-calorie foods, as well as foods high in sugar and fat.

Fungal diseases of the skin and nails: what is it?

Fungal diseases of the skin and nails are infections caused by fungi. They can appear anywhere on the body, but most often affect the skin of the legs and feet, fingers and toes, and nail plates.

Symptoms vary depending on the type of fungus and location but often include itching, redness, peeling and flaking of the skin, and changes in the color and shape of the nails. If such symptoms appear, consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

How does diet affect the fight against fungi?

An antifungal diet is essential in fighting fungal infections. Fungi thrive when carbohydrates and sugars are available to them. Therefore, foods containing sugars and fast carbohydrates, such as flour products, sweets and carbonated drinks, should be excluded from the diet.

It is also important to control the fat content, which should be moderate. Fat without moderation reduces the level of immunity.

By following an antifungal diet and eating a healthy diet, you can not only fight fungal infections of the skin and nails, but also strengthen your body and improve overall well-being.

Foods to avoid: Foods to eat:

The basic principles of the antifungal diet

The antifungal diet is one of the most effective ways to fight fungal diseases of the skin and nails. Its main principles are:

• Exclusion from the diet of foods containing sugars and fast carbohydrates that promote the growth of fungi;
• Increased consumption of protein foods such as meat, fish, eggs, legumes, nuts, which promote skin and nail regeneration;
• Increasing the consumption of vegetables, fruits and berries, which contain vitamins and antioxidants that increase immunity and resistance to fungi;
• Exclusion from the diet of alcohol, fatty and fried foods that slow down the work of the liver and kidneys, which are responsible for removing toxins from the body;
• Increase consumption of green and black teas, which contain beneficial phytoncides and antioxidants that kill fungi.

An antifungal diet should be balanced and not long lasting, as limiting certain foods can lead to certain vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

What can I eat on an antifungal diet?

The antifungal diet includes foods that help boost the immune system and prevent fungal growth. These foods contain vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that help fight inflammation and improve circulation.

One of the main foods to eat on an antifungal diet is vegetables. Vegetables such as broccoli, onions, garlic, asparagus, and sweet potatoes contain vitamin C, which boosts immunity. In addition, they have antioxidant properties that help prevent fungal growth.

Another important food to include in an antifungal diet is fruit. Fruits such as apples, avocados, kiwis, blueberries, and pomegranates are rich sources of antioxidants. They also contain vitamin C, which helps boost immunity and fight infections.

• Vegetables such as broccoli, onions, garlic, asparagus and sweet potatoes
• Fruits such as apples, avocados, kiwis, blueberries and pomegranates
• Eggs and dairy products such as kefir and yogurt

Also needed include in a diet of eggs and dairy products such as kefir and yogurt, which have antifungal properties. They contain probiotics and prebiotics, which help promote healthy microflora in the gut and fight infection.

Foods that contain sugar and carbohydrates should be avoided as they encourage fungal growth. You should also reduce the consumption of meat and fish, as they are prone to contamination with toxins and can harm overall health.

Sample Antifungal Diet Meal TimesFoods

What should be avoided on an antifungal diet?

Diet is an important component in the treatment of fungal skin and nail infections. Food should be considered as a potential stimulus for fungal growth, so it is important to avoid the following foods when on an antifungal diet:

• Sweets and sugar . Fungi love sugar, eating sugar can encourage them to multiply. In addition, sugar suppresses the immune system, making it less able to fight infections.
• Gluten . Gluten is found in wheat flour, rye bread and other cereal-based foods. It can create an immune response that encourages fungal growth.
• Dairy products . The high fat content of dairy products creates a favorable environment for the growth of fungi.
• Alcohol . Alcohol can also suppress the immune system and promote fungal growth.

Instead, increase the amount of fruits, vegetables, beans and green vegetables in your diet. They will help maintain a healthy microflora of the skin and immunity.

Caution: Foods That Promote Fungus

Fungal infections can develop anywhere in our body. One way to stop them from spreading is to follow an antifungal diet. Its main task is to exclude from the diet foods that contain glucose, sugar, fatty foods and starch. But not only these points need to be considered! It is important to know about foods that only contribute to the development of fungal diseases.

Sweets. Sweet foods, muffins, jams, dairy products and fruit juices contain additional portions of sugar, which becomes an excellent breeding ground for the growth of fungal bacteria in the body. It is desirable to reduce or completely eliminate their consumption.

Cocoa and chocolate. The carbohydrates and sugars found in chocolate and cocoa promote fungal growth and should therefore be reduced or eliminated entirely if you have a problem with skin or nail fungus.

Alcohol. Alcoholic beer, wine and spirits, especially if they contain yeast, are important food sources for fungi. Diseases associated with fungal infections often develop in people who regularly consume alcoholic beverages.

Salted. Too much salt impairs our liver function and also makes our body more prone to developing fungal infections. Eliminate salty snacks and other salty foods if you want to protect yourself from fungal skin diseases and nail problems.

Pros and cons of an antifungal diet

Pros:

• Improved overall skin and nail health;
• Reduction of inflammatory processes in the skin;
• Increased immunity;
• Reducing the risk of recurrence of fungal diseases;
• Reducing the risk of developing other diseases associated with digestive disorders.

Cons:

• Limited choice of food;
• The need for mindful eating and self-control;
• Often weight loss, which may be undesirable for people of normal weight;
• The need to select an individual diet depending on the characteristics of the organism;
• Possible nutritional deficiencies if the diet is unbalanced.

An antifungal diet can be an effective way to fight fungal infections of the skin and nails, but before starting it, you should consult a doctor and nutritionist to avoid possible problems. In addition, it should be borne in mind that the diet itself is not a panacea and should be accompanied by complex therapy, including drug therapy and personal hygiene rules.

For whom is an antifungal diet recommended?

An antifungal diet is recommended for people suffering from fungal infections of the skin and nails. Such diseases often manifest themselves in people with a weakened immune system, with poor hygiene or wearing uncomfortable shoes.

An antifungal diet is effective for people who want to eliminate a fungal infection without or in combination with medication. Most fungal diseases are reversible, and if you follow the diet, you can hope for a full recovery.

An antifungal diet is also recommended for those who wish to strengthen their immune system and prevent future skin and nail fungal infections. This diet is based on the principle of limiting carbohydrates and sugars, which contribute to the development of fungal infections.

Thus, an antifungal diet can be useful for anyone who wants to get rid of fungal diseases of the skin and nails, as well as for those who want to strengthen their immunity and lead a healthy lifestyle.

Antifungal diet contraindications

An antifungal diet may not be recommended for people with certain health conditions and diseases such as:

• Diabetes. An antifungal diet may be welcomed by some people to improve overall skin and nail health, but people with diabetes should be aware that it can lead to changes in blood glucose levels. You should not try this diet without first consulting your doctor.
• Allergies. An antifungal diet may include a number of foods that are common allergens. People who are vulnerable to allergies should avoid such foods and consult a specialist before making dietary decisions.
• Magnesium. In people suffering from kidney problems or lacking magnesium in their diet, an antifungal diet can lead to an even greater magnesium deficiency.

Before starting an antifungal diet, it is important to check with your doctor or dietitian to make sure it is safe and effective for your particular situation.

How to deal with possible nutritional deficiencies?

An antifungal diet, like any other diet, can lead to deficiencies in some important nutrients such as proteins, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. This can lead to a deterioration in overall health, as well as affect the effectiveness of the fight against fungi.

To avoid nutritional deficiencies and not violate the principles of an antifungal diet, you need to choose the right foods and control their amounts.

• Protein: Eat meat, poultry, fish, legumes, eggs, nuts and seeds.
• Fatty acids: Eat seafood, nuts, seeds, avocados, vegetable oil.
• Vitamins and minerals: Eat colorful fruits and vegetables, whole grains, dairy products, eggs, meats.

In addition, you should not restrict calories too strictly, so as not to lead the body into an energy deficit. It is important to eat enough carbohydrates to fill up the liver and muscle glycogen stores, which can be used to keep you active and fight infections.

Watch out for the right food preparation

When following an antifungal diet, just as important as the choice of foods is the right food preparation. Incorrectly prepared meals can not only not improve the condition of diseases, but also contribute to their deterioration.

• Avoid hot and fatty foods. Fried foods are high in fat, which can cause skin and nail problems. It is recommended to eat mainly boiled, baked or stewed foods.
• Do not abuse salt. Foods containing a lot of salt can cause dehydration, which can negatively affect the condition of the skin and nails. Try to prepare meals without excessive use of salt.
• Avoid raw food. Harsh vegetables and fruits can contain bacteria that harm the body. It is necessary to ensure good heat treatment of products, observe hygiene standards when preparing and eating food.

Proper cooking is an essential element of an antifungal diet. Remember that your health depends on what you eat and how you prepare your food.

Combine foods the right way

An antifungal diet doesn’t mean cutting out all the goodies and switching to crackers and water. It is important to combine products correctly so that the body receives all the necessary vitamins and minerals.

If you are on a vegan diet, be aware that there are foods of plant origin that can only be eaten in limited quantities.

• Vegetables, berries, fruits, leafy greens, nuts and seeds are all useful in an antifungal diet.
• Lean meats and fish can be eaten, but in small quantities.
• Cereals, whole grain breads, dairy products – all of these can also be included in your diet.

However, it is worth limiting the consumption of sweet, starchy and fatty foods. It is important to remember that fungi love glucose and sugar, so reducing the amount of sugar and sweets in your diet is the key to success in treating a fungal disease.

In addition, it is necessary to avoid ensiled and canned food, alcohol and cigarettes, as all these negatively affect the body and increase the reproduction of fungal infections.

Water balance is an important element in the fight against fungal diseases of the skin and nails

An antifungal diet is not only about proper nutrition and the exclusion of foods that can contribute to the development of fungi, but also the correct water balance. Few people think that drinking water also plays an important role in the fight against fungal diseases of the skin and nails.

The skin and nails are organs for the elimination of toxins and other harmful substances, so it is very important that the body is sufficiently hydrated to perform its functions properly. Lack of water can lead to dehydration, which deteriorates the quality of the skin and nails, making them more vulnerable to various infections, including fungal infections.

It is therefore very important to ensure that you drink enough water throughout the day. Experts recommend drinking at least 1.5-2 liters of water per day so that the body receives enough moisture necessary for the normal functioning of all organs, including skin and nails. At the same time, it is impossible to collect water intake in one go, it is better to drink enough water evenly throughout the day.

Thus, the correct water balance is an important element in the fight against fungal diseases of the skin and nails. Do not forget that drinking enough water is a necessary condition for the normal functioning of the body and the process of removing toxins. For best results, follow a proper diet and drink enough water throughout the day.

Healthy recipes for an antifungal diet

1. Mushroom soup

Add chopped onions, carrots, celery and potatoes to the simmering broth. Add some garlic and thyme to boost your immune system. After 20 minutes of cooking, add chopped mushrooms and herbs. Let it brew for another 5-10 minutes.

In addition, you can add turmeric, which inhibits the growth of fungal infections.

2. Baked sweet peppers with vegetables

Cut the pepper in half and remove the seeds. Place on baking sheet.

Place diced zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes and mushrooms on another baking sheet. Sprinkle with fresh rosemary and dill. Drizzle with olive oil and salt to taste.

Roast vegetables and peppers in a preheated oven at 200 C for about 30-40 minutes.

3. Cauliflower Baked Chicken Breasts

Prepare the chicken breasts by removing the skin, season with salt and black pepper. Cut the cauliflower into medium-thick rings and fry in a pan with chopped onions, minced garlic and spices.

Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and top with the roasted cauliflower. Bake for about 30 minutes at 180C.

This dish is rich in protein, calcium, iron and vitamin C, which helps to strengthen the immune system and fight fungal infections.

General tips for fungal diseases of the skin and nails

Fungal diseases of the skin and nails cause many problems and troubles. To avoid their appearance and successfully resist existing manifestations, you need to follow a few general rules.

• Try to monitor your hygiene. Fungal diseases of the skin and nails develop in humid and warm conditions, so it is important to keep the skin and nails dry and clean. Regular washing of hands and feet, use of individual towels, pillows, shoes and other personal hygiene items will help you avoid infection.
• Eliminate the habit of wearing shoes without changing even for a long time. Fungal nail diseases often occur in people who wear closed shoes for a long time, leaving their feet unable to “breathe”. Therefore, try to change shoes and let your feet rest, and wear changeable shoes in public places.
• Do not forget about proper nutrition. An antifungal diet rich in antioxidants, protein, healthy fats, and micronutrients can help boost immunity and improve skin and nail protection. Increase the amount of fresh vegetables, fruits, eggs, fish and buckwheat porridge in your diet.

We remind you that fungal diseases of the skin and nails must be treated in a complex manner. Self-medication in this case is ineffective and can be harmful to health. If you suspect a fungal infection, see a specialist who can help you find the right treatment.

Intestinal dysbacteriosis: symptoms and causes

Intestinal dysbacteriosis is a violation of microbiocenosis in the gastrointestinal tract, when the number of pathogenic microorganisms exceeds the norm, and the number of beneficial ones, on the contrary, decreases. This problem is quite common and can lead to a number of unpleasant symptoms.

Intestinal dysbiosis can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor nutrition, alcohol and smoking, stress, antibiotics and other drugs, any disease, etc. follow the recommended diet and medications. Proper nutrition plays a key role in restoring normal intestinal microflora.

Causes of intestinal dysbacteriosis

Intestinal dysbacteriosis is a disorder of the normal intestinal microflora that occurs due to various reasons. One of the main reasons for the development of dysbacteriosis is malnutrition.

When you consume a large amount of fatty, sweet, floury foods and alcohol, the food mass passes through the intestines more slowly, food residues stay longer in the intestines and begin to rot, which leads to a violation of the microflora.

Another reason is stress, which negatively affects the functioning of all organs and systems of the body, including the intestines. Stress lowers the immune system, which makes it easier for pathogenic bacteria to multiply.

Also, dysbacteriosis can occur due to diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, digestive disorders, hereditary factors, as well as age-related changes in the body.

How does nutrition affect intestinal dysbiosis?

Intestinal dysbacteriosis is an imbalance of microorganisms in the intestine, which can lead to various disorders in the body.

Nutrition plays an important role in maintaining a healthy gut microbiome. In addition, diet can also be the cause of dysbacteriosis.

Lack of dietary fiber, processed foods, large amounts of fat and sugar, alcoholic beverages and some foods may increase the risk of developing dysbiosis.

• Add more fresh fruits and vegetables that contain dietary fiber to your diet to promote the growth of beneficial microorganisms.
• Strictly regulate your intake of carbohydrates, which provide energy for the bacteria in your gut.
• Limit your intake of processed foods, which are high in salt and additives and can upset the balance of microorganisms in your gut.
• Alcohol can also kill beneficial bacteria and should be strictly controlled.

Proper nutrition can help prevent and treat dysbiosis by maintaining a healthy balance of microorganisms in the gut.

Basic rules of the diet:

1. Increase your consumption of fruits and vegetables. They contain a large amount of vitamins and minerals that help strengthen the immune system and improve bowel function.
2. Steam or grill food. This will preserve the maximum amount of nutrients.
3. It is necessary to increase the intake of protein foods, as they provide the necessary amino acids, which are the material for the renewal of intestinal cells.
4. Give up alcohol and smoking. These bad habits have a negative impact on the functioning of the intestines, worsen its condition and slow down cell renewal.

No diet will be effective if the diet is not followed. Eat regularly and in small portions. At the same time, overeating and severe hunger should be avoided. It is also important to drink enough water to keep the body hydrated and improve bowel function.

What foods help to cope with intestinal dysbiosis?

Intestinal dysbiosis can be caused by a variety of causes, including antibiotic use, stress, and poor diet. In order to restore normal intestinal microflora, you should eat some foods that help the growth of beneficial bacteria.

• Probiotics: products that contain live bacteria or yeast. They contain beneficial microorganisms that contribute to the normalization of the intestinal flora. Examples: yogurts, kefirs, kvass, fermented milk products.
• Prebiotics: fibrous foods and food components that are not digested in the gastrointestinal tract but serve as food for beneficial bacteria. Examples: onion, garlic, chicory, legumes, apples, Jerusalem artichoke, whole grain bread.
• Fermented products: herbs, vegetables, fruits, cheeses, meats, fish, nuts, mushrooms, olives that have been subjected to lactic or other fermentation. The microbes involved in fermentation form beneficial acids that help kill pathogens and improve digestion.
• Foods rich in fiber: fiber is absorbed by the intestinal microflora, accelerates the transit of food masses through the intestines and reduces the possibility of adhesions between the cells of the intestinal wall. Examples: fresh vegetables and fruits, dark breads, cereal muesli.
• Perennial Herbs: is one of the most powerful foods to help normalize the gut microbiome. They contain many phytoncides that have a bactericidal or bacteriostatic effect.

Eating these foods will help restore gut health, improve digestive health, and reduce the risk of future dysbiosis. However, before making any dietary changes, you should consult your doctor.

What do you need to know about probiotics and prebiotics?

Probiotics

Probiotics are live microorganisms that live inside our body and help keep our gut healthy. They help improve digestion, reduce the risk of infections in the intestines and strengthen the immune system.

Probiotics can be obtained from foods such as yogurt, kefir, cottage cheese, sauerkraut, etc. However, to achieve the desired effect, it is necessary to consume foods high in probiotics and regularly, whenever possible.

Prebiotics

Prebiotics are non-invasive food ingredients that enhance the growth of bacteria in the gut. They act as food for probiotics and contribute to their increase in quantity. Prebiotics are found in foods such as onions, garlic, artichokes, chicory, bananas, and other vegetables and fruits.

The combination of probiotics and prebiotics helps to improve the properties of the intestine and maintain its health. Therefore, it is important to take into account their presence in the diet in the fight against dysbacteriosis and other problems in the intestines.

Importance of water in the diet in intestinal dysbiosis

Water is an essential part of a healthy diet and is of great importance in intestinal dysbiosis. It is important to drink enough water to prevent dehydration. Dehydration worsens the condition of the intestines and can lead to an imbalance of microflora.

In case of dysbacteriosis, it is very important to drink only clean and high-quality water. It is best to drink water that has been filtered. Water can also be enriched with minerals that help restore the intestinal microflora.

In addition to pure water, green and black teas, natural vegetable and fruit smoothies, and other drinks that contain vitamins and minerals necessary for intestinal health can be consumed.

But do not forget that all drinks should be consumed in moderation so as not to harm the intestines. It is best to drink pure water throughout the day between meals, and increase fluid intake during physical activity.

• Carefully follow the drinking regime, drunkenness will lead to microflora imbalance;
• Use only pure, purified water;
• Enrich water with minerals;
• Drink tea, juices and other drinks in moderation so as not to harm the intestines;
