Sugar, stress & convenience food - why our gut rebels
🍟 What modern nutrition does to your gut
Never before in the history of mankind has our diet been so heavily processed as it is today.
- Industrially processed
- Consumed quickly
- And often artificially created
What used to be on the plate - lively, high in fiber, seasonal - has been replaced by:
- Finished products
- Ready-made snacks
- High sugar drinks
- Flavored light products
- White flour, sugar, additives
What is missing?
- Dietary fiber
- Bitter substances
- Fermented
- Plant diversity
Instead:
Sugar, wheat, fat - in almost every product.
One-sidedness instead of diversity.
Convenience instead of supply.
The microbiome is starving.
The good bacteria die out.
The "wrong" bacteria multiply.
An imbalance develops - dysbiosis.
🧨 The creeping chain reaction
This dysbiosis rarely remains without consequences.
First you feel it in your stomach:
- Feeling of fullness
- Flatulence
- Irritable bowel symptoms
- Tiredness after eating
Then more will change:
- Your intestinal mucosa becomes permeable (leaky gut).
- Silent inflammation develops.
- Your blood sugar level is derailed and your insulin sensitivity drops.
- Your immune system is overwhelmed - susceptibility to infections increases.
- You gain weight more easily, sleep less well and are more exhausted.
- Your mood suffers because intestinal bacteria can no longer produce messenger substances (serotonin, GABA, dopamine).
None of this happens overnight.
But over years.
And it begins - with breakfast.
With the snack.
With a snack on the way.
🌱 Dietary fiber - the underestimated medicine
What the gut lacks is simple:
BALLAST MATERIALS.
Previously: 50-80 g daily via plant food.
Today: often less than 15 g.
Fiber is the food for your good gut bacteria.
Especially the soluble ones such as inulin or acacia fibers.
They stimulate the formation of short-chain fatty acids -
above all Butyratethat:
- protects the intestinal mucosa,
- has an anti-inflammatory effect,
- provides energy for your intestinal cells,
- improves insulin sensitivity.
Dietary fiber also ensures that you:
- stay full for longer,
- stabilize the blood sugar,
- excrete cholesterol,
- relieve the liver,
- regulate your digestion,
- rebuild your microbiome.
🚫 But why do we lack this today?
Because most processed foods contain hardly any fiber.
They are removed - to make products durable, soft or "easily digestible".
The result: Food that fills you up but doesn't nourish you.
Many people want to eat a healthy diet - but even with fruit, vegetables and wholegrain products, it is difficult to get 30-40 g of fiber a day.
Here it makes sense to specifically support the microbiome.
✅ BS Plus - the simple support for your gut
BS Plus was developed to provide you with a targeted supply of high-quality dietary fiber in your everyday life - especially when it becomes difficult to get it from your normal diet.
The mixture contains 11 natural ingredientsincluding soluble and insoluble fiber, prebiotic plant fibers, D-tagatose and phytochemicals from fruits, vegetables and superfoods.
The taste is neutral to pleasantly fruity and can be ideally stirred into water - which is particularly important as fiber needs a lot of liquid to develop its full effect in the intestine.
BS Plus is:
- well tolerated,
- easy to use,
-and can be easily integrated into your daily routine (for example in the morning before breakfast).
This supports your digestion, helps balance your microbiome and provides your body with the fiber it really needs.
