Care for the stomach - care for the whole body!

Probiotics are a great helper in the care of stomach health and a great way to prevent a number of gastrointestinal ailments. But are they enough if we don't take proper care of our digestive system?

We are in times rich in a variety of tasty, but far less useful temptations, and we often forget the need to take care of the stomach and be careful what we put in it. Through the stomach, the sources of the necessary substances are processed, reaching every point of our organism, nourishing the cells and organs in the body, therefore we must be gentle with it and strive to take more foods rich in vitamins and fiber and less fatty and processed products and semi-finished products, non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages.

Stomach health is vital to the overall health of the body.

Complaints of stomach inflammations, colitis, ulcers, swelling, gastritis, heartburn, nausea, reflux and a number of other disorders in the functions of the gastrointestinal tract are increasingly common. And can we protect ourselves naturally and keep our health longer without having to take drugs, antibiotics or undergo severe diets and deprivations? Learn the answer in this article.



First, let's find out what the most common causes of gastrointestinal ailments are

There are many reasons that can lead to stomach irritations and ailments. Most often, the cause is the food we eat, poor in fiber and vitamins, fast food, lack of movement after eating, and more:

• Unhealthy diets
• Taking antibiotics
• Autoimmune diseases
• Intoxication of the body
• Stress and anxiety
• Indigestion
• Overeating

How to improve the functions of the gastrointestinal tract and take care of its good condition?

We remind you again - change your diet. Consuming fresh fruits and vegetables is extremely important. Prepare food with less fat and avoid fried foods. Eat more easily digestible food, especially as you get older.

If you have an irritable stomach or esophageal irritation, avoid spicy foods, spices, coffee, and cigarettes.

Detoxify the body - eat more green leafy vegetables, increase the amount of water and tea. Reduce your salt intake. By flushing out toxins from the body, you will also affect your weight. Here is what else you can take to detoxify the body:

• Garlic
• Citrus fruits
• Beetroot
• Avocado
• Apples
• Walnuts
• Ginger
• Turmeric
• Green tea
• Carrots
• Flaxseed
• Probiotic foods

Sports and stomach health

Is there a connection between daily movement and sports with the stomach and its better functioning? The answer is a resounding yes.

You don't have to be the most active athlete, but it is recommended that you do physical activity, such as jogging, long walks, stretching or other activity, at least 30 minutes a day. The lack of movement and the stagnant lifestyle of most people who work mostly in a sitting position can lead to a slow metabolism and blood circulation. This in turn hinders and slows down the proper functioning of the stomach. Thanks to some specific exercises applied daily, you can save yourself painful gas, diarrhea or constipation.



On liquids and the stomach

The intake of fluids, or more specifically water, tea or soda, is also of great importance in maintaining the good health of our stomach. The lack of a sufficient amount of water or other liquids leads to the production of a lower percentage of digestive juices, which worsens the absorption of food and leads to constipation (or in other words, constipation). In addition, water or liquids in general help to move food through the intestines more easily.

It is recommended that a person consume up to 2 liters of water daily, excluding carbonated drinks from his menu and reducing alcohol to a minimum.



Eat more fruits and vegetables rich in water and fiber.
