The combination of proteins and carbohydrates in the diet helps to improve the functioning of the intestines, say researchers at the University of Sydney. That is why the balance of food of vegetable and animal origin is so important for man.

There are many dietary strategies, according to which proteins are best used separately from carbohydrates, but the latest studies prove that the combination of "protein plus carbohydrate" most effectively protects the body from intestinal disorders and helps normalize the intestinal microbiota.

The presence of nitrogen in the intestine allows bacteria to interact effectively, form an intestinal ecosystem that protects the person from food disorders. The number of microbes can be large if a person consumes animal protein or less if the bulk of his diet is plant products. Nitrogen is produced only when processing products of animal origin. Consequently, a reasonable balance between plant and animal food is the fastest way to normalize the processes inside the intestine.
