The gut microbiota is a delicate and complex ecosystem that has many health benefits. Taking probiotic supplements or eating fermented foods can help to some extent, but our lifestyle, environment, diet, and medications have a greater impact on our gut flora, and sometimes they can even negatively impact our gut probiotics.
Here are some common ways your gut’s good bacteria are disrupted：
- Antibiotic use
- food poisoning
- pressure Unhealthy diet and excessive sugar intake
- Antacids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and other drugs
- lack of exercise
- Alcohol
- smoking
- bad sleep
- Excessively clean life
These behaviors not only directly destroy intestinal probiotics, but even if probiotics are supplemented, these behaviors will inevitably greatly reduce the effect of probiotics. So, if you are trying to improve your physical and mental health through probiotics and find no obvious effect, think about whether you have some bad living habits and eating habits, change these behaviors, and you may gradually feel the change. And the physical and mental pleasure that probiotics bring to you.
