Chronic fatigue, difficult digestion, dull complexion or even imperfections: these are signs that your body needs a good detox! Your body has several specialized excretory organs for this purpose, but the king of detox is your liver. It is able to process and temporarily store substances that are useless and harmful to your body in order to eliminate them. But, put to the test by our modern lifestyle, there comes a time when our "filter system" says stop.
The intestinal wall acts as a selective filter that prevents the entry of unwanted substances (bacteria, macromolecules and toxic compounds) while allowing the passage of nutrients essential to the body. However, our consumption patterns, and particularly stress, damage this wall and make it hyperpermeable. In other words, your intestines leak and let in unwanted substances, leading to chronic fatigue, regular stomach aches and even inflammation of the digestive system.
When healthy, our microbiota protects our body against attacks by pathogens, stimulates our immune system, participates in the synthesis of vitamins and facilitates the digestion of food. However, the consumption of processed foods, pesticides, alcohol, foods low in fiber, vitamins and minerals are particularly harmful to our microbiota and lead to its imbalance. Chronic fatigue, bloating, weak immune system, anxiety, weight gain... are telltale signs of intestinal dysbiosis. Hence the importance of rebalancing your microbiota for benefits on all health!
Probiotics are fragile microorganisms, remember to take them 15 to 20 minutes before breakfast. For the most impatient among you, place your pillbox on your bedside table in the evening and set an early alarm to consume them, or prepare yourself before breakfast!
