Antibiotics and gut health: caution and solutions

Antibiotics - a double-edged sword. While they effectively fight bacterial infections, they can also affect our intestinal flora. Dr. Sofia Forslund points out that this can lead to an imbalance in the microbiome and cause serious health problems such as obesity and diabetes. Experts advise caution when taking them and recommend probiotics to restore balance, as practiced by Dr. Birgit Terjung. At the same time, a high-fiber diet and the consumption of fermented foods are recommended to promote gut health.
