Nutritionists told which products should be excluded from the diet or reduce their consumption. According to experts, they can negatively affect the functioning of the intestines.

Sweets

“Cookies, candies, cakes and sweetened drinks can harm your intestines,” – warns nutritionist Teresa Gentile. According to her, such sweets reduce the number of good bacteria in the intestines and increase the number of bad ones. This, in turn, can provoke inflammation in the body, obesity and the development of cardiovascular diseases. Many nutritionists include sweeteners and sugar substitutes in the list of harmful foods.

Processed foods

“The most harmful food for the intestines is sugar, corn syrup with a high content fructose and all processed foods,” says expert Jamie Feit. “Anything that your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize as food, it would be wise to avoid to protect your gut,” she added. According to the specialist, such products are also capable of reducing the number of beneficial bacteria in the body. In addition, nutritionists include deep-fried foods in the list of undesirables for regular consumption.

Alcohol

“Too much alcohol can reduce the number of beneficial bacteria in the intestines “. This was reported by nutritionist Lisa Young. It is necessary to remember this, despite the fact that many include, for example, red dry wine in the list of healthy drinks, experts warn.
