Information On Leaky Gut Syndrome And Its Causes

Are we people aware of what Leaky Gut Syndrome is? Sounds new and different isn't it! It is an increase in permeability of our intestine. Our intestine loses the ability to stop harmful substances entering it. This causes an increase in gap between the cells of the intestine allowing all the harmful microorganisms to enter. The main functions of the intestinal tract (i)to digest foods and absorb energy from it (ii)Carries nutrients like vitamins and minerals to the blood stream (iii)Contains antibodies that fight against any foreign substance but leaky gut syndrome is a stage where all the above functions are stopped.

There are small residues named desmosomes that fill the gap between the cells in our intestine. These residues protect our intestine from large harmful microorganisms entering it but this disease causes weakening of desmosomes which thereby reduces the immunity of our system. If we have a strong immune system it would produce the necessary antibodies to fight against any foreign material-antigen. Since this disease weakens the immunity power microorganisms happily enter thinking that this path is only made for them. So this is how our intestine starts getting damaged. The irony is that many of us do not know that we are suffering from this disease as we do not start feeling the symptoms right from the initial stage.

The main causes of Leaky Gut Syndrome: Consumption of alcohol, poor diet which does not supply enough nutrients to our body, stress caused by physical and mental pressure, allergies to any foreign material, pharmaceutical drugs, parasites etc. So its always better to eat healthy food like lot of vegetables, fruits and giving our body the right nutrition so that it has an excellent immunity power that even diseases are afraid to near our system. We should go for a general body check up often so that we are able to diagnose if we are being affected by any disease and give timely treatment Lets all maintain a healthy life by giving our body proper nutrition and exercise. Only if we are healthy we can keep our surroundings healthy.

The right leaky gut diet is an essential part of the healing process. So if you want to overcome Leaky Gut Syndrome then don't take your diet for granted.
