Microbiome - what is it?
The microbiome is the set of microorganisms that exist in a given environment.
The human microbiome is a term that refers to all microorganisms in the human body. After all, the human body is home to a variety of microorganisms. We can't see them, yet they have a huge impact on our health and well-being.
For this reason, it is very important to take care of our microbiome.
How to take care of the microbiome naturally?
Here are some tips to support the functioning of the microbiome and bring about a kind of homeostasis in our body:
- Eat vegetables and fruits regularly; they are rich in polyphenols and prebiotic substances; go for citrus fruits, asparagus, bananas, for example,
- Regularly consume carbohydrates with a low or medium glycemic index, rich in fiber, which benefits intestinal peristalsis and the microbiome,
- regularly consume all types of pickles; they are a natural source of probiotics,
- regularly consume dairy products such as yogurt and kefir, which are also natural sources of probiotics,
- Regularly consume healthy vegetable fats such as canola oil and olive oil,
- Reduce alcohol consumption,
