Strengthening intestinal health: This is how the right nutrition protects against diseases!

in an interesting podcast about the importance of the microbiome
Senior doctor Dagmar Sobar-Schmid from the Hospital of the Merciful Brothers St. Veit an der Glan states that the intestine is far more responsible than just for digestion. A balanced diet, in particular the sufficient supply of fiber, is crucial for well -being and can prevent diseases. According to Sobe-Schmid, today's diet, characterized by industrially processed food and sugar, leads to an impoverishment of the microbiome, which can have serious health consequences. These findings are brought into focus in the "Lebenswerk" podcast "Life Work" of Austria, and it is clear that a conscious diet can significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and chronic inflammation.

In addition, the podcast also illuminates the theme of the Coping School at the Merciful Sisters Hospital Vienna, a special program for people with obesity. The ten-day treatment concept includes nutritional counseling, movement therapy and medical care, whereby the costs of affected people are covered by the health insurance company with a body mass index from 30. Microbiological research supports these views by showing the connection between chronic diseases and bacterial settlement in the intestine, as the DR-Hillmann.de website reports. In the case of a stool analysis, the microbiological balance can be restored and thus improve digestion and nutrient absorption. Skin problems, allergies and inflammatory bowel diseases are just a few of the possible consequences of a disturbed microbioma, caused by wrong diets, stress or taking certain medication. This illustrates the high relevance of correct intestinal treatment in modern medicine.
