Promote intestinal health

A healthy gut is crucial for your well-being. It not only influences digestion, but also the immune system, skin and mental health. A balanced diet with fibre, sufficient fluids and avoiding sugar can support intestinal balance. Probiotics also help to promote the growth of positive bacteria. Regular exercise and stress management are also important to maintain gut health in the long term. In this article, you will learn how you can effectively support your gut and keep it in balance.

The importance of healthy intestinal flora

Your gut is home to trillions of microorganisms, which together form the so-called microbiome. These bacteria are crucial for the absorption of nutrients, defence against pathogens and the production of vitamins. If the microbiome is out of balance - for example due to stress, an unhealthy diet or medication - this can lead to digestive problems, a weakened immune system or inflammation. It is therefore worth actively looking after your gut health.

Six tips for healthy gut flora

• 1. high-fibre diet: Fibre is the favourite food of good intestinal bacteria. They are found in wholemeal products, pulses, fruit and vegetables and promote digestion. Fermentable dietary fibres such as inulin and oligofructose in particular have a prebiotic effect and support the growth of healthy gut bacteria.
• 2. consume probiotic foods: Probiotics are living microorganisms that can have a positive effect on your intestinal flora. They are found in fermented foods such as yoghurt, sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir and kombucha. Regular consumption can help maintain a healthy bacterial diversity in the gut.
• 3. reduce stress: Constant stress can have a negative impact on your intestinal flora and favour inflammation. Techniques such as meditation, yoga, breathing exercises or regular walks in nature help to reduce stress levels and thus protect your gut.

• 4. drink plenty of water: Water is essential for digestion and the transport of nutrients in the intestine. Sufficient fluid intake - ideally 1.5 to 2 litres per day - supports healthy bowel function and prevents constipation.
• 5. avoid sugar and highly processed foods: Too much sugar and industrially processed food can promote the growth of harmful bacteria and unbalance the intestinal environment. Instead, your focus should be on natural and fresh foods.
• 6. integrate exercise into everyday life: Regular exercise promotes intestinal peristalsis, i.e. the natural movements of the intestines that ensure smooth digestion. Walking, cycling, swimming or yoga are ideal activities for healthy bowel function.

Promoting gut health with probiotics

Probiotics contain beneficial microorganisms that support the balance of the intestinal flora, especially after antibiotics or in the case of digestive problems. They promote intestinal health in the long term. Various probiotics strengthen the immune system or alleviate flatulence, diarrhoea and constipation. Prebiotics, which serve as food for the good bacteria and thus improve intestinal health, are also important. Studies also show that a healthy gut flora can have a positive effect on mental health, as probiotic strains such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium promote the production of mood-enhancing neurotransmitters such as serotonin.
