Top 5 Reasons Why Your Digestive System is Out of Whack
2. An Imbalance of Gut Flora
This is probably one of the biggest reasons you are having problems digesting your food properly is the imbalance of bacteria in your gut. The perfect ratio should be 85 percent good and 15 percent bad.
When you have this percentage of bacteria, your digestive system has no trouble absorbing and digesting fiber, sugars, carbohydrates, etc.
However, with our bad eating habits, very few of us have these kinds of bacterial percentages in our systems.
In order to regain the proper balance of bacteria you should consider antibacterial foods such as garlic, black walnut, cloves, onions, and oregano. In addition, add probiotic and fermented foods such as sauerkraut, pickles, and green leafy vegetables.
