¿Sabía que su intestino está compuesto por billones de microorganismos1?
Pues bien, es el mayor ecosistema de su cuerpo y contiene diminutos microorganismos vivos, como pueden ser bacterias, virus (incluidas las levaduras) y parásitos. Todos ellos actúan conjuntamente para mantener equilibrada su flora intestinal (también conocida como microbiota intestinal).
Así pues, ¿qué hace exactamente la microbiota intestinal? Entre otras cosas, facilita la digestión2. También actúa como una barrera frente a los patógenos y las toxinas3, juega un papel defensivo en el desarrollo de su sistema inmune4 y contribuye al mantenimiento y a la maduración del tracto intestinal5.
¡Conozca más acerca de la microbiota intestinal, su importancia para su salud y cómo cuidarla!
A veces se dice que el intestino es el segundo cerebro…
Existe una red de comunicación bidireccional entre el intestino y el cerebro denominada “eje intestino-cerebro”, en el que la microbiota intestinal podría participar.
