The work is devoted to the role of a balanced diet in the prevention of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. The study is based on the analysis of current scientific data and clinical studies aimed at identifying the effect of nutrients on the health of the digestive system. The authors emphasize the importance of a balanced diet, which includes the necessary number of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. The mechanisms through which various elements of nutrition contribute to maintaining the normal function of the gastrointestinal tract, including stimulation of peristalsis, improvement of digestion and ing proper intestinal microflora, are considered. Special attention is paid to the role of diet in the prevention of chronic diseases such as peptic ulcer, chronic gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome, etc. Effective nutrition strategies to reduce the risk of developing these diseases are discussed, including moderate fat intake, increased fiber and vitamin intake, and limiting the consumption of irritating foods. In conclusion, it is emphasized that a conscious and balanced diet plays a key role in maintaining the health of the gastrointestinal tract. Practical recommendations on the formation of a healthy diet that contributes to the prevention of various diseases of the digestive system are proposed. The analysis of these aspects allows us to provide doctors, nutritionists and patients with valuable information for the development of effective nutrition strategies to maintain the health of the gastrointestinal tract.
