The food consumed daily has a significant impact on the state of the digestive system and, subsequently, the functioning of the entire body. Moreover, it protects it from many diseases. There are various bacteria residing in the gut that require different nutrients for survival. In order not to cause disruptions in the number, composition, and functioning of the intestinal bacterial flora (commonly referred to as intestinal dysbiosis), it is extremely important to maintain a well-balanced diet.
