Lymphatic leakage syndrome, should be regularly prevented and managed through dietary therapy.

 

 

The intestine has semi-permeability to absorb nutrients and water from food. This plays an important role as a protective barrier for gut health, but if this barrier is not properly maintained, intestinal permeability increases, allowing gut bacteria to enter the bloodstream. This is called 'leaky gut syndrome.'

 

Leaky gut syndrome is accompanied by symptoms such as bloating, gas, abdominal pain, and food sensitivities, but its cause has not been medically identified. I learned about leaky gut syndrome with the help of WebMD, a U.S. health and medical media outlet.

 

The intestinal barrier consists of surface mucus and epithelial cells that limit the movement of harmful microorganisms. However, if gaps form in this barrier, intestinal bacteria, undigested food, and toxins can enter the bloodstream. This can cause inflammation and lead to changes in the normal gut bacteria.

 

Dr. Linda Park, a gastroenterologist at Johns Hopkins Integrative Medicine and Digestive Center, said, "The cause of leaky gut syndrome is not clear, and there is no definitive treatment yet, but it is believed to be caused by increased intestinal permeability or intestinal congestion."

 

Symptoms of lymphatic leakage syndrome include

 

Frequent constipation or diarrhea

 

▲Indigestion, bloating, or abdominal pain

 

Arthritis

 

Chronic fatigue

 

Allergic reaction to foods that used to be eaten well

 

Frequent nasal congestion

 

There are severe mood swings or memory decline.

 

Above all, to prevent leaky gut syndrome, it is essential to strengthen the intestinal mucosa through dietary therapy. In particular, modern people are at a higher risk of developing leaky gut syndrome due to multiple factors such as consumption of foods with many artificial additives, irregular eating habits, and environmental pollution. Therefore, proper dietary management and prevention should be maintained regularly.
