Healthy bacteria, especially those found in kefir and yogurt, increase the number of beneficial bacteria that coexist with the trillions of cells we call the microbiota; consequently, they facilitate digestion and even have effects on weight loss by increasing the body's resistance.

Prebiotics are substances that play a role in the nutrition of bacteria and the microorganisms found in our body.

Prebiotics are found in apples, pears, citrus fruits, apricots, peaches, artichokes, onions, garlic, leeks, celery, and lentils.

THE BODY'S IMMUNE SYSTEM STRENGTHENS

These are substances that are not digested by the body but can be digested by the bacteria in the body, ultimately providing nutrition for the bacteria and enabling the strengthening of the immune system in the body.

If we increase the fiber content in our daily diet, we also provide probiotics.

WHAT IS NEEDED FOR A HEALTHY GUT SYSTEM

For a healthy gut system, we should pay attention to eating as naturally as possible in our daily dietary habits.
In particular, we should eat every fruit and vegetable in season, avoid gaining weight, and eat a little bit of everything.
For ideal gut health, our diet must contain a balanced amount of carbohydrates, protein, and fat.
A monotonous diet negatively affects our gut health.
Some monotonous diets practiced under the name of ketogenic diets disrupt our gut health and our body's immune system. We should eat by taking all kinds of nutrients in a balanced way, and we should focus on a diet based on vegetables and fruits.
Natural foods that we can make at home, such as homemade yogurt, homemade vinegar, and pickles, play a role in protecting your body's health. We should not only focus on nutrition but also exercise, and stay away from alcohol and cigarettes.
