In our digestive system, harmful and beneficial bacteria live in a dynamic state of balance. If this balance is disturbed, the beneficial bacteria are damaged and the harmful bacteria multiply rapidly, thus disrupting the functioning of the intestinal system.
The role of probiotics during antibiotic therapy
A cold, infection or infectious disease and the antibiotics recommended for its treatment are enough to significantly change the balance of intestinal flora. Moreover, a stressful lifestyle, smoking, environmental changes, monotonous nutrition or an improper diet are sources of threats to the healthy functioning of the intestines.
What are the symptoms of intestinal flora disorder?
By destroying the beneficial bacteria, pathogenic bacteria and fungi gain space. Symptoms of this can be gastrointestinal discomfort, diarrhea, bloating, but in the worst case, more serious problems can occur.
Why is healthy gut flora important?
Nowadays, more and more respiratory infections are occurring. Probiotics play a very important role in defense, because they can inhibit the development of viruses and also strengthen the immune system. Since the functioning of our immune system largely depends on the functioning of the intestinal flora, if this sensitive system is damaged due to some harmful effect, we become more susceptible to viral infections.
