Why Is Intestinal Health Important?

Our intestinal health is very important for us to carry out all our vital activities. It affects our social life significantly. Even our concerns and sadness may affect our intestines negatively. So, while dealing with stress, we should feed our intestines with foods that will be good for them so that we can protect our intestinal health. Intestines are the second brain of our bodies. Just like the brain, if our intestinal system collapses, the whole system collapses. There are a lot of bacteria in out intestines. These are divided into two groups as good bacteria and bad bacteria. If we do not eat healthy, the amount of bad bacteria increase and good bacteria decrease. This situation significantly affects our immune system. We need probiotics for our intestines to be healthy. Probiotics are living organisms and yeasts.

Kefir which has been in our lives for centuries and has recently been sold exclusively in markets is a complete source of probiotics.

Bananas, peaches and apricots play an important role in intestinal health as they are rich in fiber.
