🦠 Your Gut Microbiome: What Damages It & How to Protect It
Your gut is home to trillions of beneficial bacteria that support digestion, immunity, hormones, mood, and overall health. But modern lifestyles can easily throw this delicate balance off.
🚫 What Damages Your Microbiome?
• Repeated or unnecessary antibiotic use
• Diets high in sugar, ultra-processed foods & alcohol
• Chronic stress
• Poor sleep and irregular routines
• Exposure to toxins, chemicals & medications
• Frequent illness or gut infections
🌱 How to Look After Your Good Bacteria
• Eat a diverse, fibre-rich diet (vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole foods)
• Include fermented foods where tolerated (sauerkraut, kefir, kimchi)
• Stay hydrated and support digestion
• Manage stress and prioritise quality sleep
• Reduce sugar and processed foods
• Support gut cleansing and replenishment when needed
✨ At Central Healthcare, we support gut health with services such as colonic irrigation, vitamin infusions, B12 shots and wellness support to help restore balance from the inside out.
