Intestinal health - Parasites and worms

Gut health is an essential part of our wellbeing. However, parasites and worms can impair the functioning of our digestive system and lead to a variety of ailments. These uninvited guests can be transmitted through contaminated water, contaminated food or contact with infected people or animals.

Symptoms of a parasitic infection can include abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, nausea, weight loss and fatigue. It is important to take such symptoms seriously and consult a doctor if necessary in order to receive an appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

Good hygiene is essential to prevent parasitic infections. This includes regular hand washing, eating clean and well-cooked food and avoiding contact with potentially infected materials.

In addition, certain foods and supplements can help support gut health and reduce the risk of infection. Probiotics, high-fiber foods such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables, garlic and ginger are often recommended to maintain healthy gut flora and strengthen the immune system.

It is important that people living or traveling in high-risk areas are aware of the potential dangers and take appropriate precautions to protect their gut health.
