Many of the functions necessary to ensure human well-being and health takes place due to this unique but sensitive ecosystem in our body. In order for active gut microbes to fully support us, we need to take care of the balance and health of the microbiota itself.  <\/p>\n<p>Intestinal microbiota balance is an important part of human health. This is where many of the body\u2019s vital functions begin to work. Microorganisms in the digestive tract keep our immune system strong, while supporting our metabolism and digestion and helping the body to synthesize the vitamins and minerals it needs. Our abdominal health also affects our mental well-being, which is an integral part of a person\u2019s overall health.   <\/p>\n<h2><strong>The well-being of microbiota is disturbed by a number of common causes. <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A healthy microbiota can handle its tasks efficiently in a balanced environment. Problems begin when different influences on one\u2019s health or lifestyle shift this balance. Unhealthy diets, antibiotics, medications, stress and a lack of physical activity are the most common causes of intestinal problems.  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14527\" src=\"https:\/\/smartfood.ee\/app\/uploads\/2022\/08\/smartfood-alflorex-mikrobioota-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smartfood.ee\/app\/uploads\/2022\/08\/smartfood-alflorex-mikrobioota-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/smartfood.ee\/app\/uploads\/2022\/08\/smartfood-alflorex-mikrobioota-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/smartfood.ee\/app\/uploads\/2022\/08\/smartfood-alflorex-mikrobioota-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/smartfood.ee\/app\/uploads\/2022\/08\/smartfood-alflorex-mikrobioota-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/smartfood.ee\/app\/uploads\/2022\/08\/smartfood-alflorex-mikrobioota-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/smartfood.ee\/app\/uploads\/2022\/08\/smartfood-alflorex-mikrobioota-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/smartfood.ee\/app\/uploads\/2022\/08\/smartfood-alflorex-mikrobioota.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>A disrupted microbiota sends signals <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The most obvious sign of an unbalanced microbiota is the constant suffering from health problems. General weakness, mental fatigue and a lack of energy also suggest that not everything is working as it should. More severe and disruptive symptoms such as allergies, depression, anxiety and diarrhea are signs that more careful attention should be given to your intestinal health.  <\/p>\n<p>Micro-biotic dysbiosis (a condition caused by an unbalanced microbiota) combined with stress and poor dietary choices is a dangerous combination that can have significant consequences for our long-term health and gastrointestinal function. Studies have shown that prolonged failure of dysbiosis can lead to a chronic disease called irritable bowel syndrome. <\/p>\n<h2><strong>A daily balanced diet is the key to your health! <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The easiest way to stimulate your microbiota is to eat a healthy and balanced diet. A varied and clean diet contributes to the wellbeing and diversity of intestinal bacteria and is therefore a cornerstone of our overall vitality. <\/p>\n<p>The easiest way to stimulate your microbiota is to eat a healthy and balanced diet.
