Taking care of our intestines and their mucous membranes
The importance of gut health is now clearly demonstrated. Mechanisms essential to our balance, including digestion and assimilation, take place there constantly. And we now know that we have a responsibility to take care of it, among other things, through what we choose to eat.
Unfortunately our lifestyle is the cause of numerous intestinal pathologies which affect an impressive number of people. Among them, irritable bowel syndrome affects nearly 20% of people in Canada. And that's without counting ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and other conditions.
Inhabitants of the intestine and their care
The intestine contains 400 families of microorganisms and more bacteria than there are cells in the body. The balance of this ecosystem is fundamental. The contribution of good bacteria, probiotics, is a plus in the work of rebalancing.
Therapeutic approaches emphasize the care of the intestinal mucosa. It is a thin layer of cells, protected by good bacteria, which separates the exterior and interior of our body. It is often affected by inflammation.
The imbalance
A certain hyper-permeability of the mucosa is also present in many intestinal diseases. Certain spaces, the tight junctions, in this layer of cells allow larger molecules to pass through than they should. With major disorders at stake: allergies, immune problems, chronic illnesses, etc.
