When the intestines stop working properly, the body begins to signal problems that often go unnoticed.
This was reported by “URA-Inform” with reference to Newsyou.info.
A healthy gut provides a balance of microorganisms necessary for the normal functioning of the body. If beneficial bacteria give way to pathogenic bacteria, this can lead to inflammation, problems with the absorption of nutrients and, as a result, to malfunctions in the entire body.
Doctors highlight several important signs that are worth paying attention to.
1. Unexplained weight loss
Sudden weight loss may be due to the intestines no longer absorbing nutrients in sufficient quantities. This may be due to increased permeability of its walls or intolerance to certain foods. This situation requires immediate examination.
2. Emotional instability
The intestines play a key role in the production of serotonin, which affects mental health. Imbalance of microflora, inflammatory processes and lack of nutrients are often accompanied by depression and anxiety.
3. Sleep problems
Insomnia can be a consequence of a lack of serotonin, which is directly related to the deterioration of the intestines.
4. Cravings for sweets
The growth of fungal microorganisms and yeast increases the desire to eat sweets, since sugar is a nutrient medium for them. This can also manifest itself in the form of excessive appetite when you see sweets.
If you notice one or more of these symptoms, you should pay attention to the condition of your intestines and consult a doctor.
