             Healthy intestinal flora, healthy brain?

     Do the intestinal bacteria affect the brain? Research indicates this influence. Apparently this is the case with ADHD and Alzheimer's disease. In this

     case, there is one more reason to pay attention to nutrition in ADHD and the prevention of Alzheimer's disease. It is worth taking a look at the findings.

Also relationship between intestinal flora and connective tissue?

Studies show that the intestinal flora also affects fibromyalgia.

If these results are confirmed, this gives an extra indication that the intestines, and more specifically the intestinal flora, play a very important role in good health. We can also say that we have to be careful with the use of antibiotics, which of course can also change the intestinal flora.
