Impact of Antibiotics on Gut Health
Antibiotics are powerful medications that effectively treat bacterial infections, yet they also disrupt the balance of good bacteria in the gut, leading to potential health issues. The elimination of beneficial bacteria can compromise gut health, making it essential to focus on restoring the microbiome after antibiotic use. Experts suggest probiotics and fermented foods as potential solutions for reversing gut damage, as they contain live microbes that can help enhance gut health. The diversity of microbes found in fermented foods often surpasses that of standard probiotic capsules, which may enhance their effectiveness in supporting a healthy gut environment.
