Antioxidants are widely recognized for their benefits in fighting free radicals and protecting our body against various diseases. 👩‍⚕️

However, there is another interesting aspect to consider: how do antioxidants affect our gut microbiota? 🤔

The microbiota, composed of a variety of microorganisms in our gut, plays a key role in our overall health. It turns out that antioxidants have a significant impact on the composition and function of this microbiota.

Antioxidants can contribute to maintaining a healthy balance between the different bacterial species and microorganisms present in our gut. In addition, they have been shown to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria while inhibiting the growth of pathogens.

In addition, antioxidants have been observed to improve communication between intestinal cells and microbiota, which promotes a more efficient and effective interaction to maintain a healthy intestinal environment.

In summary, consuming antioxidants properly plays a crucial role in modulating the gut microbiota, which in turn contributes to better overall health.
