How stress affects the digestive system

It is a fact that for busy people, stress is an inevitable part of life.

Numerous problems at work, uncertainty on the one hand and ambitions to achieve goals definitely generate stress.

Family life, misunderstandings, failures, difficulties with children, parents, etc. are also a source of stress.

Environmental pollution from cars, construction, garbage, add here also the loud music in the bars below the palace are definitely a constant source of stress.

In fact, this is normal life in Tirana, but our bodies don't think it's normal!

Whether it's a small event or a big one, your body handles it the same way, releasing stress hormones.

Good gut bacteria (lactobacilli) manage your stress hormones. If these hormones are constantly flooding your body due to stressful events, then your good gut bacteria can become overwhelmed.

They may have difficulty doing their jobs correctly (such as keeping out pathogenic microbes, fermenting and fractionating foods, absorbing vitamins, etc.

Do you know how stress affects your gut?

Studies show that when we are stressed, this can include violence, poor diet, infections, problems with a partner, with work and more, the diversity of good bacteria decreases.

Even mild stress can change the balance in your gut, making it more vulnerable to infection as well as counteracting a weakened nervous system.

I meet stressed people who complain that they are constantly cold... Do you know what this means?

Studies show that people react very differently to stress based on the population of bacteria in their gut.

I'm listing 3 tips to help your gut beat stress:

Feed your microflora with fermented foods and a variety of vegetables (especially cruciferous vegetables) and fruit, cooked or raw.

Take probiotics.

Get enough sleep.

Take care of your body, it is the greatest asset you have!
