So, what can negatively affect our microbiome? Diet can play a major role in the maintenance of a healthy microbiome. Foods that cause inflammation can be detrimental to the microbiome, as inflammation disrupts the ability of the body to properly digest nutrients. Further, certain foods, namely sugar, aids in the proliferation of “bad” bacteria in the gut and the crowding out of the “good” bacteria. Proinflammatory foods include processed and packaged foods, which include add sugars, hydrogenated and trans fats, refined carbohydrates and processed grains, refined vegetables oils (i.e., corn, canola and soybean) and conventional meats, poultry and eggs which are high in proinflammatory Omega-6 fatty acids, as well as conventional dairy. Antibiotics, as well as other drugs, can also wreak havoc on the microbiome.
