Sugar and processed foods can easily upset the balance of intestinal bacteria, so limiting these can help maintain the dominance of good bacteria.
The balance of intestinal bacteria plays an important role in health. Some foods can upset the balance of gut bacteria. The following are some examples of foods that are said to tend to upset the balance of internal bacteria, but these vary from person to person, so please be careful.
- **High-fat/high-sugar processed foods:**
- **Features:** Fast food, snacks, sugary drinks, etc.
- **Impact:** High-fat and high-sugar foods can promote the growth of harmful bacteria and cause a decrease in beneficial bacteria.
- **Beverages containing artificial sweeteners:**
- **Features:** Diet drinks, processed drinking water, etc.
- **Impact:** Artificial sweeteners can affect the microbiome in your gut, with some studies suggesting they reduce microbial diversity.
- **Antibiotics:**

- **Impact:** Antibiotics not only kill pathogenic bacteria, but good bacteria can also be affected, which can upset the balance of the intestinal flora.
- **Highly processed foods:**
- **Characteristics:** Foods that contain many artificial additives and preservatives.
- **Impact:** Food additives can affect the intestinal environment and negatively impact microbial diversity.
- **Insufficient dietary fiber intake:**
- **Characteristics:** A diet low in white bread, processed grains, and dietary fiber.
- **Impact:** A lack of dietary fiber may prevent the good bacteria in your intestines from receiving nutrients, leading to an imbalance.
- **Excessive alcohol consumption:**
- **Characteristics:** A drinking habit that involves continuous excessive consumption of alcohol.

When these foods and factors disrupt the balance in your intestines, they can have a negative impact on your immune and digestive functions. A balanced diet and healthy lifestyle are important to maintain a healthy intestinal environment.
