To address this topic, we have with us Mariana Aróstegui, a Biologist specialized in Human Microbiota, who on her social networks does a great job of disseminating all her learnings and knowledge, in addition to providing tips on healthy cooking that awakens our attention since we landed. on your Instagram feed. She is the author of the book 'Take care of your prehistoric bacteria' and has given us a little time to talk, precisely, about these microbes that are present in our intestine and that accompany us daily, without being aware of the enormous importance they have. in the regulation of our balance and, therefore, comprehensive health.

We talked with Mariana about:

• Fructose and sorbitol intolerance: we delve into why it occurs and what types of foods we should avoid.
• Lactose intolerance: very common among the population, and not only due to genetics, as most believe.
• Non-celiac gluten sensitivity: another intolerance that has been talked about for a long time and that generates more controversy every day.
• Bread as food: to what extent it is or is not recommended and what would be the best types of bread.
