The intestinal epithelial barrier is highly regulated and allows the selective passage of nutrients, while being impermeable to harmful substances. The junctions between the cells of this epithelium have protein structures that are responsible for maintaining this impermeability. There are substances that can damage the impermeability of the intestinal epithelial barrier, such as ethanol. There are substances in food that reduce the damage that this barrier can suffer. In this work, we sought to relate patterns of alcohol consumption, quality of life from the point of view of intestinal health and the frequency of consumption of food groups.
