London doctor Zoe Williams said bad breath may be related to gut dysbiosis. In this respect reports Daily mail.
Intestinal dysbiosis is a condition of the body in which there is a change in the quantitative or qualitative composition of the microflora in the large and small intestine. Such an imbalance can cause metabolic and immunological disorders and the development of gastrointestinal disorders.
The doctor explained that with dysbiosis, epithelial cells in the intestine and the bacteria living in it begin to produce hydrogen sulfide, a colorless gas with a sweet taste, characterized by the unpleasant heavy smell of spoiled eggs or meat. Intestinal dysbiosis may also be accompanied by discomfort and pain in the abdominal area.
The causes of this condition may be stress, bad habits, hormonal imbalances and various infectious diseases.
It is noted that to normalize the intestinal microflora, it is necessary to adhere to proper nutrition. Experts recommend increasing the share of plant foods in the diet. Eating fermented foods such as sauerkraut, yoghurt, and kefir will also be beneficial. The fact is that they contain prebiotics, live microorganisms that are beneficial to humans. When consumed systematically, they provide a beneficial effect on the human body. In addition, prebiotics help the proliferation of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. Bacteria use these microorganisms as food.
