La Importancia de la Microbiota Intestinal
Si hay algo que es fundamental para nuestra salud es cuidar la microbiota.
Previously known as bacterial flora, studies have gone further and have shown that a large part of our body is made up of microorganisms that have our DNA and make up an entire microbiota. I am going to dedicate this article to the intestinal microbiota, due to the important relationship we have with food.
On the other hand, today we know that there is a close relationship between the intestinal microbiota and our nervous system and the brain, since in any mental illness the microbiota must also be considered as a risk factor.
Our diet largely determines the type of decisions, reactions and health of our neurons, as well as our mood, feeling fear or managing stress.
¿Pero qué es la microbiota?
It is largely composed of bacteria, much less for viruses and parasites,
But we share our DNA with all of them. In volume and quantity, the microbiota It is three times more than the total mass of our cellsThey have two basic and vital functions: They help regulate energy supply and protect us from intruding germs that can be harmful to our health.
Un 70% de nuestra células inmunes viven en nuestro intestino.
and more than 100 million brain neurons interact with them.
The formal study that is being done on the microbiota is helping us to understand its benefits for our health and that also serves to stop aging.
Factores que alteran a la microbiota
However, there are four factors that dangerously attack our microbiota, three of these are external and one internal; The most harmful is what we do to ourselves because of DISTRESS, since it produces an overload of cellular energy that greatly alters our entire organism, affecting our capacity for homeostasis and self-regulation, making us vulnerable to almost all diseases and significant brain damage.
The other three internal factors are; Medication, pollution, cosmetic and food chemicals; preservatives and artificial colorings, etc.
The symbiotic relationship we have with our microbiota is essential, as it functions as barrier against foreign germs
and that can be pathogenic.
By sharing DNA with our microbiota, our vigilant immune system does not attack them, and is only responsible for eliminating intruding germs.
When we use chemical agents, medicines or substances in food and cosmetics, we weaken our microbiota, leaving our intestinal barrier exposed.
"Our Body defends itself"
Our body will try to purify, by all means, everything that our organism does not recognize and when it does not succeed, it will try to isolate all those toxins, temporarily accumulating them.in the bones.
Normally the body eliminates waste and toxins through feces, urine and skin.
When the intestine is overwhelmed with toxins, colitis will appear accompanied by constipation and diarrhea and vice versa, If you suffer from colitis, know that your microbiota is altered.
Among the toxic chemical elements that most affect our microbiota are, lheavy metals, some preservatives
which is used by the food industry in cereals and vegetables, some of which have too many pesticides and chemicals, which we end up usingconsuming in our daily diet.
The two most harmful foods for our microbiota and directly are: excess sugars and the gluten from bread not made with sourdough.
On the other hand, there is gluten, which, by adhering to the intestinal villi, carrying a load of pesticides, preservatives and food toxins, forces our immune cells to take action and ends up producing collateral damage in our intestine, they are micro perforations, which in this microscopic world are large openings that are crossed by the same toxic agents, by harmful germs and finally by our own immune cells (autoimmune diseases).
Simple measures to take care of our microbiota
Aunque cambiar la dieta es beneficioso, no es suficiente
Con algunas medidas sencillas podemos mejorar nuestra microbiota, como son; hacer ejercicio, es uno de los mejores remedios para reducir el estrés y hacer un cambio simbiótico que ayuda a mejorar nuestro metabolismo y fortalecer nuestra microbiota, lavar muy bien frutas
(de preferencia con agua filtrada) y verduras
antes de consumirlas, evitar el gluten y los alimentos con azúcar.
Es una buena práctica consumir con cierta regularidad probióticos, consulte con su terapeuta para que le indique cuales de estos necesita.
