Despite the fact that traditionally the main organs that affect lifespan are considered to be the heart and brain, there is another one whose importance is often forgotten. This organ is responsible for immunity, which allows the body to cope with various inflammatory processes, which are considered one of the main causes of the development of deadly diseases.

According to recent studies, lifespan directly depends on the condition of the intestine, or more precisely, on its microflora. Scientists have proven that it affects the entire body. Due to disturbances in the microflora, a person faces diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, thrombosis and other serious conditions, which begin with metabolic syndrome.

In addition, the intestines contain more than 70% of bacteria that can protect the body from viruses. In this way, immunity is formed, which decreases due to a decrease in the number of beneficial microorganisms. As a result, the risk of fatal diseases increases many times.
