General practitioner Olga Parfenova said that for any problems with the gastrointestinal tract, you need to seek medical help so as not to let the situation get out of hand and prevent serious consequences.

In addition, the specialist explained what symptoms one should pay attention to in order to understand that problems already exist, writes Gazeta.ru .

According to Parfenova, intestinal dysbacteriosis leads to weakened immunity, extra pounds, skin problems, and depression.

As the doctor noted, physical activity is important, and you also need to pay close attention to your diet. You should add more fiber from raw vegetables and cereals.

Unsaturated fats found in fish and nuts are good for your health; they reduce appetite and also normalize cortisol levels in the body.

Dark chocolate, cheeses, and turkey meat will improve your mood. If we talk about intestinal microflora, berries will improve it, and special attention should be paid to cranberries.

The therapist also noted during the interview that some foods are best excluded to reduce the risk of problems occurring.

We are talking about products containing gluten, lactose, sugar, salt, chemical additives and dangerous fats.
