A healthy intestinal barrier is crucial for preventing toxins, harmful microorganisms (bacteria and viruses), and undigested food particles from entering the bloodstream. However, factors like poor diet, excessive alcohol consumption, stress and certain medications can damage this barrier, leading to increased intestinal permeability or “leaky gut.”
When these harmful substances breach the damaged intestinal barrier and enter the bloodstream, they can affect various systems in the body, including the immune, hormonal, respiratory, nervous, and reproductive systems. This increased permeability may contribute to a range of conditions, such as heart disease, obesity, auto immune disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, type 1 diabetes, and celiac disease.
