The human intestine is colonized by many different species of bacteria. The growth of intestinal bacteria depends on the type and composition of our nutrition. Through an unbalanced diet you enhance the growth of some bacteria whilst inhibiting others.

A diet rich in proteins and fat (very common in the Western world) favours the growth of putrefaction bacteria, which generate a lot of gas causing abdominal pain, feeling full and bloating. In addition, large amounts of harmful metabolites grow from these bacteria, enter the blood stream often resulting in headaches, migraines, joint pain or chronic fatigue.

The useful intestinal bacteria are further weakened by antibiotics, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and the ingestion of foods and substances which cause allergies. Damaging intestinal bacteria finally results in the generation of new allergies and other intestinal diseases.
