Microbiota (intestinal flora). Probiotics contained in the diet settle in the walls of the large intestine, where they produce lactic acid and other organic acids, thereby protecting the intestinal mucosa from infections by harmful bacterial strains. Microflora consists of a huge number of bacteria, fungi, but also viruses and sometimes parasites.
How to take care of intestinal microflora?
Microbes (just like us) benefit from basic quality foods that are not industrially processed and sweetened or flavored with additives. It is absolutely ideal to regularly enrich the menu with fermented foods, such as fermented vegetables, fermented dairy products, or sourdough bread.
What Harms?
The microbiome is greatly harmed by industrially processed foods that are poor in microbes, but also in food that keeps microbes alive. We should clearly exclude foods with a high content of refined sugar, solidified fats, alcohol, and other generally unhealthy foods from our diet.
What helps with indigestion?
Modification of the menu: Limit the consumption of fatty, fried foods, as well as oversalted foods and sweets. Choose a diet rich in fiber (fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grain bread) and probiotics (fermented dairy products, fermented vegetables).
How long does it take to restore intestinal microflora, when taking antibiotics?
Patients can take probiotics during and after antibiotic treatment. Studies have shown that it takes up to three weeks to restore a healthy intestinal microflora after prolonged use of antibiotics.
TIP. Did You Know? Polyphenols play an important role in promoting health.
Polyphenols are a group of substances found in fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, but also in coffee, tea and cocoa. They play an important role in promoting health. People who suffer from conditions related to PCOS, endometriosis or insulin resistance should pay special attention to products that are a source of polyphenols.
Black and Green tea is an effective antioxidant, improves brain function, increases physical performance and fat burning, reduces the risk of cancer, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, has an antibacterial effect, reduces blood sugar levels and reduces the risk of developing diabetes, protects against cardiovascular diseases, promotes vitality and extends life of life. Green tea contains large amounts of polyphenols (one of the most potent components being Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG)). These polyphenols act as an antioxidant and help protect cells from oxidative damage by oxygen radicals. Polyphenols from green tea also effectively fight cancer, blocking enzymes that promote carcinogenic processes, further preventing the malignant proliferation of cells and preventing the formation of new blood vessels that provide nutrition for tumors.
Numerous peer-reviewed scientific studies have shown that consuming produce high in pesticide residue, increases the risk of certain negative health impacts and that choosing organic can almost immediately reduce the amounts of residues in a person’s body.
Our’s advice is that fruit whose origin is unknown should be carefully washed. But for apples, washing them leads to a maximum reduction of pesticides by half. It is more effective to peel the skin. As less risky fruits, we recommend bananas, avocados, pineapple, or some citrus fruits, where they do not find pesticides in the edible parts. Regarding vegetables, we recommend sweet potatoes, onions, or baby carrots.
And grandma’s advice to wash fruit with vinegar or lemon water? “The solubility of some pesticides may increase slightly, but complete removal cannot be counted on,” we reply.
Do you like gardening? So support your local organic growers or grow some vegetables and fruits yourself.

Does Intra liquid and Intra Dry Form(Capsules) contain HFCS and any preservatives, potassium, benzoate or sorbate?
Yes Intra liquid contains trace amounts of HFCS (High- fructose glucose corn syrup), Potassium sorbate and Cellulose gum. INTRA CAPSULES DO NOT CONTAIN HFCS, POTASSIUM SORBATE AND CELLULOSE. If you are sensitive to the above substances, we recommend using the dried form – INTRA CAPSULES.
– Potassium sorbate is an artificial preservative. It is effective in acidic foods against molds and yeasts. Studies have not shown negative effects on humans.
-Cellulose gum is not absorbed into the body, it only passes through the digestive tract. Its negative effects on human health have not been confirmed when taken internally, but constipation may occur when consuming a large amount of a product containing it. It is also discussed that it reduces the nutritional value of food.
– People who have fructose intolerance should limit high-fructose foods, such as juices, apples, grapes, watermelon, asparagus, peas and zucchini. Some lower fructose foods — such as bananas, blueberries, strawberries, carrots, avocados, green beans and lettuce — may be tolerated in limited quantities with meals.
– Glucose syrup and corn syrup are naturally derived added sweeteners. Corn syrup can be a type of glucose syrup, but not all glucose syrup is made from corn. Liquid glucose can be derived from many plants, but is typically made from either corn or wheat.
– It is known, however, that too much added sugar of all kinds — not just high-fructose corn syrup — can contribute unwanted calories that are linked to health problems, such as weight gain, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and high triglyceride levels. All of these boost your risk of heart disease.

How To Eat when You Have Gout and Diabetes – Part 1
It’s possible to suffer from both gout and diabetes at the same time. People with both gout and diabetes are advised to avoid foods that may affect the levels of uric acid and insulin in the body. Therefore, recommended diets for this group focus on lowering both uric acid and blood sugar levels. Diet for Ģout and Diabetes.
Eating Right
1. Avoid purine-rich foods.
Since uric acid is produced from the metabolism of purine in the body, it is best to avoid foods that contain purine. Urate crystals accumulate in the joints if uric acid is elevated and this can aggravate joint pain in gout. Also, uric acid elevation can increase insulin resistance which is a condition wherein the body does not respond to the function of insulin.
This can further elevate the blood sugar levels of a person, leading to diabetic symptoms. Purine-rich foods are mackerel, anchovies, organ meats, dried beans, peas, canned goods, instant noodles, wine, and beer.
Foods rich in fructose consume a lot of adenosine triphosphate (or ATP) when metabolized. This ATP is an energy-supplying molecule that the cells in the body use. Over-consumption of ATP leads to its depletion and results in the generation of substances such as lactic acid and uric acid, thereby increasing the levels of uric acid in the blood.
Also, fructose is considered a sugar. Consuming foods rich in fructose can elevate the blood sugar of a person and lead to the occurrence of symptoms.
Foods to avoid are apples, bananas, pears, agave, melons, asparagus, beans, broccoli, cabbage, onion, tomato, peanuts, raisins, figs, carbonated drinks, fruit drinks, ketchup, canned goods, chocolate, pastries, and breakfast cereals.
3. Avoid alcohol.
Alcohol interferes with the removal of uric acid from the body. When alcohol is converted to lactic acid, it reduces the amount of uric acid that is eliminated from the body through the kidneys. This is because the lactic acid competes with the uric acid in terms of being removed by the kidneys through urine.
Increased levels of ethanol (alcohol) in the body increase the body’s production of uric acid by increasing the amount of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) that is converted to AMP (Adenosine monophosphate) – a precursor of uric acid. Also, alcohol can affect the body’s sensitivity to insulin.
4. Eat High Fibre foods.
Dietary fiber absorbs uric acid in the bloodstream, allowing it to be eliminated from the body through the kidneys. Also, pectin (which is a type of soluble fiber) lowers cholesterol by absorbing t from the body. High levels of cholesterol in the body can increase blood pressure and can lead to the occurrence of diabetic symptoms. Include at least one high-fiber food in each major meal or snacks such as pineapple, oats, isabgol, cucumbers, oranges, barley, carrots, and celery. The ideal daily intake is 21 grams.
5. Eat foods rich in anthocyanins.
Anthocyanins prevent the crystalization of uric acid and also prevent it from being deposited in the joints. Also, anthocyanins encourage hypoglycemic activity that may help to lower blood sugar. Foods rich in anthocyanins are eggplant, blueberries, cranberries, plums, black currant, grapes, pomegranates, red-fleshed peaches, and cherries. You should include at least one of these foods in each major meal or snack.
6. Eat foods rich in omega-3 fats.
Increasing your intake of omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce insulin resistance (a condition where the body is able to produce insulin but it is not used effectively), thereby reducing the risk or severity of type 2 diabetes. Also, the eicosa pentanoic acid (EPA) in omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the levels of cholesterol and uric acid. The recommended dose for omega-3 fatty acids is not more than 3 grams daily. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids are sardines, salmon, soybeans, flax seeds, walnuts, tofu, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, shrimp and winter squash.
The goal of treatment during an acute gout attack is suppression of inflammation and control of pain. It is important to note, that if a patient is not on uric acid lowering therapy at the time of an acute attack – then this is not the time to initiate such therapy. However, if a patient is on uric acid lowering therapy at the time of an acute attack, it should not be discontinued.
Treatment of pain and inflammation can be achieved with NSAIDs, colchicine, or corticosteroids (systemic or intra-articular). The choice of which treatment is the right one for a particular patient should be made on the basis of the patient’s co-morbid medical conditions, other medications, and side effect profile.
Uric Acid Lowering Therapy
Indications
Patients who have multiple episodes of acute gout attacks per year or who have tophi on exam are candidates for uric acid lowering therapy. Use of uric acid lowering agents will reduce the frequency of gout attacks and over time, reduce tophi formation, and diminish the risk of joint destruction. The following are indications for uric acid lowering therapy:
tophi or chronic arthritis on exam
failure of colchicine prophylaxis of acute gouty arthritis
renal stones
Prior to chemotherapy as prophylaxis of tumor lysis syndrome
Extremely high levels of serum uric acid (>12 mg/dl)
Uric acid is the end product of purine (nucleic acid component of DNA) metabolism and is produced normally by the body during tissue remodeling and breakdown. About 20% of uric acid is derived from purines ingested in food. Causes of hyperuricemia can be divided into two major categories: decreased clearance of uric acid from the kidney and increased synthesis of uric acid.
Decreased renal clearance – (90% of patients)
Intrinsic kidney disease
heart disease causing decreased blood flow to the kidney
All patients should be encouraged to modify their lifestyle including limiting alcohol intake, encouraging weight loss where appropriate and decreasing food rich in purines. Co-morbid medical conditions should also be controlled including hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia.
Foods High in Purines
Very High – Hearts, herring , mussels, yeast , smelt, sardines, sweetbreads
Treatment of gout
In an acute attack of gout, drugs against pain and inflammation of the joints, so-called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, are used in relatively high, anti-inflammatory, doses. In addition, the doctor often prescribes the drug colchicine, which reduces the formation of uric acid crystals and reduces the inflammatory reaction to these crystals in the tissues. The drug allopurinol is then most often used in the long term. It lowers the level of uric acid, thereby helping to reduce the frequency of gout attacks, promotes the dissolution of already formed uric acid crystals and prevents their re-emergence. All gout medications are subject to a doctor's prescription.
You can also support the treatment yourself with a suitable diet and some dietary supplements. Vitamin C and other antioxidants are especially recommended. Pay special attention to the intake of vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B12. It is possible that you suffer from their deficiency, especially if you follow a strict gout diet. To protect, nourish and regenerate joints, you can also use so-called chondroprotectives containing glucosamine and chondroitin. We can find them in over-the-counter medicines and in food supplements, in so-called joint nutrition. A suitable supplement is also collagen and again vitamin C, which contributes to the normal formation of collagen for normal cartilage function.
The wrong diet, obesity, and tiredness are problems that affect all populations. The latest scientific findings have revealed a combination of 50 foods to extend and improve your life!
Try the 50 foods that are super healthy

These weren’t listed, but are also very healthy: Artichokes, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, celery, eggplant, leeks, lettuce, mushrooms, radishes, squash, swiss chard, turnips, zucchini. Fish and other seafood tend to be very healthy and nutritious. They are especially rich in omega-3 fatty acids and iodine, two nutrients that most people don’t get enough of.
Studies show that people who eat the most foods from the sea (especially fish) tend to live longer and have a lower risk of many diseases, including heart disease, dementia, and depression.
27. Salmon
Salmon is a type of oily fish that is incredibly popular due to its excellent taste and high amount of nutrients, including protein and Omega-3 fatty acids. It also contains some vitamin D.
28. Sardines
Sardines are small, oily fish that are among the most nutritious foods you can eat. They contain hefty amounts of the majority of nutrients required by the human body.
29. Shellfish

30. Shrimp
Shrimp is a type of animal found in the sea. It tends to be low in fat and calories, but high in protein. It is also loaded with various other nutrients, including selenium and vitamin B12.
31. Trout
Trout is another type of delicious oily fish, similar to salmon.
32. Tuna
Tuna is very popular in Western countries and tends to be low in fat and calories, but high in protein. It is perfect for people who need to add more protein to their diets while keeping calories low. Grains have gotten a bad rap in recent years, mainly due to them being a forbidden food on the wildly popular paleo diet. However, it is a mistake to lump all grains together. There are many different types of grains, and some of them are very healthy.
Just keep in mind that they are still pretty high in carbs, so they are not recommended on a low carb diet.
33. Brown Rice
Rice is one of the oldest cereal grains and is currently a staple food for more than half of the people in the world. Brown (whole grain) rice is fairly nutritious, with a decent amount of fiber, vitamin B1 and magnesium.
34. Oats
Oats are incredibly healthy. They are loaded with nutrients, and also contain powerful fibers called beta-glucans, shown to have numerous benefits.
35. Quinoa
Quinoa has become incredibly popular among health-conscious individuals in recent years. It is a tasty grain that is high in nutrients like fiber and magnesium. It is also an excellent source of plant-based protein. Most people eat a lot of bread.
For those who are trying to adopt a healthier diet for the first time, it can be extremely challenging to find something to eat instead of bread. Fortunately, there are several healthy (or at least “less bad”) options available.
36. Ezekiel Bread
Ezekiel bread may be the healthiest bread you can buy at the store. It is made from organic, sprouted whole grains, and also contains several types of legumes.
37. Homemade low-carb pieces of bread
The safest choice for healthy bread is something that you make yourself. Choose healthy bread that is gluten-free and low in carbs. Legumes are another food group that has been unfairly demonized in recent years.
It is true that legumes contain anti-nutrients, substances that can interfere with digestion and absorption of nutrients. However, these anti-nutrients can be eliminated by soaking and properly preparing the legumes before eating them. What we’re left with is an incredibly cheap source of quality nutrition, including a great plant-based source of protein.
38. Green beans
Green beans, also called string beans, are unripe varieties of the common bean. They are very popular in Western countries.
39. Kidney beans
Kidney beans are loaded with various vitamins and minerals and are very high in fiber. Just make sure to cook them properly, because they are toxic when raw.
40. Lentils
Lentils are another popular legume. They are high in fiber and are among the best sources of plant-based protein. Lentils also taste delicious and have a very satisfying texture.
Many people can’t tolerate dairy products. However, for people who do tolerate them, they are a healthy source of various important nutrients. Full-fat dairy products seem to be the best, and studies show that people who eat the most full-fat dairy have a lower risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes. If the dairy comes from grass-fed cows, then that maybe even better, as it is higher in some bioactive fatty acids like CLA.
41. Cheese
Cheese is incredibly nutritious, and a single slice of it contains about the same nutrients as an entire cup of milk. It is also one of the most delicious foods you can eat.
42. Whole milk
Whole milk is very high in vitamins, minerals, quality animal protein, and healthy fats. It is one of the best sources of calcium.
43. Yogurt
Yogurt is made from milk that is fermented by adding live bacteria to it. It has many of the same health effects as milk, except with the added benefits of the friendly probiotic bacteria. The “war” on fat is lost, and many fats and oils have been making a comeback as health foods.
44. Butter from grass-fed cows
Butter from cows that were fed on grass is high in many important nutrients, including the very important vitamin K2.
45. Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is loaded with powerful fatty acids called medium-chain triglycerides. Coconut oil may have benefits for Alzheimer’s disease and has been shown to help you lose belly fat.
46. Extra virgin olive oil
Extra virgin olive oil is the healthiest fat on earth. It contains heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and is very high in antioxidants with powerful health benefits. Tubers are the storage organs of some plants. They tend to contain a number of beneficial nutrients.
47. Potatoes
Potatoes are very popular food around the world. They are loaded with potassium and contain a little bit of almost every nutrient we need, including vitamin C.
They are also incredibly fulfilling. One study found that boiled potatoes were by far the most filling of 38 foods that were tested.
48. Sweet potatoes
Sweet potatoes are among the most delicious starchy foods you can eat. They are loaded with antioxidants and all sorts of healthy nutrients.
49. Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is incredibly popular in the natural health community. Studies show that it can help lower blood sugar levels and cause modest weight loss.
It is great to use in salad dressings and to add flavor to meals.
50. Dark Chocolate
Not only is dark chocolate the most delicious food on this list, but it may also be the healthiest. Dark chocolate is loaded with fiber and magnesium and is one of the most powerful sources of antioxidants in existence.

It’s possible to suffer from both gout and diabetes at the same time. People with both gout and diabetes are advised to avoid foods that may affect the levels of uric acid and insulin in the body. Therefore, recommended diets for this group focus on lowering both uric acid and blood sugar levels.
Understanding Gout and Diabetes
1. Understand what causes gout. Gout – a form of arthritis – is a condition caused by the buildup of excess uric acid. Uric acid is a chemical produced during purine metabolism in the body. Purines are nitrogen-containing compounds that are produced inside the body or can be found in certain foods and drinks.
Gout occurs when urate crystals accumulate in the joints, causing intense pain and inflammation. Urate crystals can form when a person has high levels of uric acid in the blood.
Gout causes sudden, extreme attacks of pain, redness, and swelling. Gouty arthritis most often affects the big toe, but it also can occur in the ankles, feet, knees, wrists, and hands.
2. Know what causes diabetes. Diabetes is a disease that affects the body’s utilization of glucose – blood sugar that is the body’s source of energy. In order to use glucose, our body needs insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps transport blood sugar or glucose into the cells as a source of energy. Without sufficient insulin, the blood sugar cannot be absorbed by the body’s cells and remains in the bloodstream. In people with diabetes, there is the inability of the body to produce insulin or the insulin does not work as it should.
Diabetes has two types:
Type 1 diabetes. The body’s immune system attacks and destroys the beta cells of the pancreas, which is responsible for the production of insulin.
Type 2 diabetes. The pancreas can still produce insulin but the body does not respond well to it, so the insulin doesn’t work.In both types of diabetes, the glucose cannot normally enter the cells and remains in the bloodstream, resulting in high levels of blood sugar.
3.Know the risk factors for both gout and diabetes. Gout and type 2 diabetes often occur together, as both diseases have common risk factors.
These include:
Non-modifiable Factors:
Age: As the body ages, its functions deteriorate. It may be unable to excrete uric acid any more which can lead to gout, or it may be unable to utilize insulin anymore, which can lead to diabetes.
Family history: Both gout and diabetes can be inherited. If one of your family members has gout or diabetes, then there is a chance that you may inherit the disease as well.
Gender: Both gout and diabetes more often occur in men than in women. This is because men have higher uric acid levels and are less sensitive to insulin.
Modifiable Factors:
Obesity: More adipose tissues from fats can produce and secrete more uric acid which can cause gout. Also, insulin does not easily bind to fats, which can increase a person’s risk of diabetes.
Diet and lifestyle: Excessive intake of alcohol can affect the body’s normal process of excreting uric acid, which can lead to gout. Also, alcohol can affect the body’s sensitivity to insulin which can lead to diabetes.
4. Recognize the symptoms of gout.
They include:
Joint pain and inflammation: This is caused by elevated deposits of crystallized uric acid in the joints. This uric acid may irritate the joints and lead to inflammation. The pain in the joint can be described as sharp or excruciating.
Kidney problems: Increased uric acid can cause kidney stone formation, which leads to problems with urination. The kidney stones may block urine passage.
5. Familiarize yourself with the symptoms of hypoglycemia. Diabetes symptoms occur when the blood sugar is below the normal range (hypoglycemia) or above the normal range (hyperglycemia). The normal range of blood sugar levels in the body is 70 to 110 mg/dl.
Signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia include:
Blurred or impaired vision: Due to low levels of glucose (which provides energy for the body) certain parts of the body, such as the eyes, become weak due to insufficient energy.
The confusion which may lead to delirium: Due to insufficient glucose, the vital organs such as the brain are not working properly.Extreme hunger leading to excessive eating: The body compensates for its lack of energy by releasing Ghrelin (the hunger hormone) which gives the person the urge to eat.
Extreme thirst leading to excessive drinking: When the body loses fluids because of frequent urination in diabetes, the body secretes vasopressin (also known as an antidiuretic hormone) which activates the thirst mechanism and stimulates the kidneys to reabsorb water. The person responds by drinking a lot of water in order to replace lost fluids.
Rapid or fast heartbeat: Because the body has no source of energy such as glucose, the heart compensates by speeding up the pumping of blood to the body’s vital organs.
Weakness or fatigue: Because the body does not have enough glucose, the sufferer may experience weakness and fatigue.
6. Recognize the signs and symptoms of hyperglycemia. When blood sugar levels go above the normal range, symptoms include:
Blurred or impaired vision: Abnormally high glucose levels in the blood can lead to swelling of the lens, which causes blurred vision.
The confusion which may lead to delirium: In hyperglycemia, although there may be a high level of blood glucose, it is not transported into the cells because of lack of insulin or insulin does not respond well to the body, so there is still no source of energy. The vital organs such as the brain don’t work properly due to insufficient energy.
Extreme thirst leading to excessive drinking: When the body loses fluids because of frequent urination in diabetes, the body secretes vasopressin which functions to activate the thirst mechanism and stimulate the kidneys to reabsorb water. The person responds by drinking a lot of water in order to replace lost fluids.
Frequent urination: With hyperglycemia, not all of the blood sugar can be reabsorbed and some of the excess blood glucose is secreted in the urine where it draws more water. The kidneys attempt to decrease blood glucose levels by excreting the excess blood glucose through the urine.
Headaches: In an attempt to get rid of the excess sugar, the body increases urine output. This increase in urination leads to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance that results in headaches.
Rapid or fast heartbeat: Because the body has no source of energy such as glucose, the heart compensates by speeding up the pumping of blood into the vital parts of the body.
Weakness or fatigue: Insufficient energy – due to the inability of glucose to be absorbed by the cells – leads to weakness and fatigue.
