The Impact of Nutritional Interventions
Extreme nutritional interventions that rely on powders can lead to unintended long-term consequences for gut health. While individuals may initially feel fine or experience mild issues such as bloating or IBS, the detrimental effects may materialize years later. Maintaining a balanced diet rich in whole foods is crucial as it promotes a diverse microbiome that supports overall health. Careful consideration should be given to sustainable dietary practices to mitigate potential risks associated with such extreme diets.
