Our intestines are the home of millions of bacteria that together form our gut flora; this is called the microbiome or microflora. A healthy gut flora plays a very important role in our digestion and in maintaining a healthy immune system. These bacteria don’t make you sick, but are actually important for your health and the prevention of diseases. The microbiome can continuously change, for example due to the food we eat, the medication we use or the lifestyle we have. Gut health therefore goes far beyond just digesting food and absorbing nutrients. In this article we will take you through the gut flora: what is a healthy and unhealthy gut flora, which symptoms can you develop with a poor gut flora and most importantly: how do you keep your gut health as healthy as possible?

Everyone has a different gut flora; the composition of your gut flora depends on many factors, including your lifestyle, medication use and medical history.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A healthy gut flora is able to break down and absorb nutrients, and helps the immune system to prevent infections. In addition, the gut flora synthesizes certain vitamins, such as vitamin K and certain B-vitamins. An unhealthy gut flora is a flora that is out of balance, causing the distribution between good and bad bacteria to be disturbed. This imbalance can cause various gut problem symptoms, such as abdominal pain, flatulence, diarrhea, constipation, fatigue<\/a> and decreased appetite. In addition, an unhealthy gut flora can lead to problems digesting food and absorbing nutrients. This can lead to a deficiency in important nutrients such as vitamins and minerals, resulting in a range of physical complaints. In addition, the bad bacteria in the gut can produce gases, which can lead to abdominal pain, flatulence and a bloated feeling. An unhealthy gut flora can also lead to diarrhea and constipation.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
