Be careful with antibiotics, find out what they do to the stomach and bones
The human body is home to at least a trillion bacteria which are very important for the body.
They are microscopic, one-celled organisms that are beneficial to the immune and digestive systems and aid in the absorption of nutrients, and together they can weigh up to 2 kilograms.
Bacteria are divided into over 1000 species and into two categories: good and bad. Fortunately, both categories live in complete harmony with each other.
However, this balance is fragile and is disrupted by the use of antibiotics.
Bone health and gut microbes
A study referred to by AgroWeb.org says that the use of antibiotics strongly affects the development of the human skeleton after puberty. This stage of development is responsible for at least 40 percent of bone mass.
Skeletal health is also dependent on the gut microbiome.
The effect of antibiotics on bone marrow cells
Bone metabolism is dependent on a delicate process. The use of antibiotics affects the dissolution of bone mass and the release of minerals, especially calcium, from bone fluids into the blood.
This may be the result of an immune response triggered by changes in the microbiome. As a result of antibiotics, communication between the immune system and bone cells breaks down and there are harmful interruptions.
Such a thing significantly damages the human skeleton.
The effect of stress and antibiotics on the stomach is the same as that of fast food
Changes in the internal community of bacteria resulting from stress are just as harmful as those caused by fast food. In today's life, the level of stress we encounter every day is high, while the excessive use and abuse of antibiotics has become a phenomenon.
Millions of people are affected by a variety of digestive problems. These problems are solved with the use of probiotics which help to balance the level of micro organisms in the intestinal flora so that the gastrointestinal system digests food properly.
They protect us from pathogens, that is, from harmful microorganisms; detoxify the organism from harmful components; they produce vitamins and other compounds and balance our immune system.
