They take refuge in the small <strong>intestine <\/strong>and colon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to scientists, around 100,000 billion <strong>bacteria <\/strong>belonging to 400 different species form the <strong>microbiota<\/strong>. Some of them are beneficial to health, such as lactobacilli, while others are harmful, such as salmonella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It should be noted that the living organisms that make up the intestinal flora have many functions. They contribute, among other things, to the <strong>good functioning of the digestive system<\/strong> and improve intestinal transit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These organisms optimise the fermentation of undigested food residues. In addition, they facilitate and accelerate the assimilation of nutrients by the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The microbiota could also play a protective role. Known as the <strong>intestinal immune system<\/strong>, it fights pathogenic <strong>bacteria <\/strong>and stimulates the metabolism, thus reducing the risk of being overweight.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget that if there is an <strong>imbalance in the flora<\/strong>, <strong>bad bacteria<\/strong> multiply rapidly and gain strength. They will weaken the intestinal mucous membrane. As a result, the intestine finds it difficult to fulfil its role, which encourages the development of many <strong>intestinal disorders <\/strong>and deteriorates the effectiveness of the <strong>immune system<\/strong>. Hence the importance of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/welliecare.com\/en\/how-to-cleanse-the-intestines\/\">intestinal enema<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_food_to_take_care_of_the_intestinal_flora\"><\/span><strong>Which food to take care of the intestinal flora?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Several factors can affect the <strong>balance of the intestinal flora<\/strong>. These include stress and taking antibiotics. Fortunately, it is possible to take care of your <strong>microbiota <\/strong>with a good diet. Find out which foods to choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Foods_rich_in_probiotics\"><\/span>1. <strong>Foods rich in probiotics<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>probiotic <\/strong>is a living bacterium present in the human body.

It is therefore advisable to increase the number of these probiotic bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"414\" src=\"https:\/\/welliecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/probiotiques-1024x414.jpg\" alt=\"Probiotics\" class=\"wp-image-2749\" srcset=\"https:\/\/welliecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/probiotiques-1024x414.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/welliecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/probiotiques-300x121.jpg 300w, https:\/\/welliecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/probiotiques-768x310.jpg 768w, https:\/\/welliecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/probiotiques-1536x621.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/welliecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/probiotiques-260x105.jpg 260w, https:\/\/welliecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/probiotiques-50x20.jpg 50w, https:\/\/welliecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/probiotiques-150x61.jpg 150w, https:\/\/welliecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/probiotiques.jpg 1853w\" sizes=\"(max-width:767px) 480px, (max-width:1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Probiotics<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>These good bacteria are present in large quantities in :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>certain cheeses such as gruy\u00e8re, cantal, munster, camembert and roquefort.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dairy products,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>smoked fish,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>soy sauce,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>olives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It should be noted that if antibiotics are taken, <strong>natural probiotics<\/strong> decrease in number.
