That our intestine is a real ” second brain ” I would say that we have all more or less intuited.

Just think about how important it is in weight loss to have a fast digestion and a less swollen belly, with greater regularity.

These are the 3 signs that make us think of a fast metabolism and a lean body. People who can “eat everything without gaining weight” seem to digest even stones, if they eat more they go to the body more, have less intestinal gas and less swollen stomach problems.

Once they have eaten, the food they swallow does not have the same negative effects it has on us , who are almost afraid to sit down at the table for fear of gaining weight.

Well, the faster metabolism of lean people is actually related to better digestion and greater immune defenses. And these three things (metabolism, digestion, immune defenses) are linked to our intestine, or rather, to our microbiota, the intestinal flora.

PROBIOTICS TO LOSE WEIGHT: THE INTESTINAL FACTOR

The gut flora of a fat, overweight person with slow metabolism is different from that of a thin individual, according to research.

Clearly what we eat has its own importance.
By eating wrongly we contribute to the proliferation of bad bacteria, to the detriment of the good ones, associated with better intestinal health (in turn correlated as we have seen with metabolism and the immune system).
However, this process is reversible.

The bacterial flora of a thin individual can in a certain sense be “transplanted” into that of a fat individual.
Long ago, scientists put bacteria from the gut flora of a skinny mouse into that of a fat mouse, and guess what? The fat mouse lost weight, as I explain to you in this article. Same thing in humans.

According to our current knowledge, a diet based on fruits, vegetables, prebiotic and probiotic foods (kefir, tempeh, fermented foods) helps us to have a healthy bacterial flora and thus to lose weight. But we could have a flat stomach, better digestion and a higher metabolism thanks to new “smart” probiotics, capable of immediately transforming our fatty microbiota into a lean microbiota .

Scientists from Vanderbilt University in Nashville (United States) have in fact created edible bacteria (which can be ingested) that reduce weight accumulation.

Those who eat them are full sooner , have a flatter stomach, can eat less and even have less cravings for sweets and fats. But above all, these bacteria could increase his metabolism, transforming him without contraindications into a person who eats everything without gaining weight. Where to find them?

PROBIOTICS TO LOSE WEIGHT: WHAT ARE THEY?

Today there is a class of probiotics created with the technology of “phage” bacteria that can allow us to improve the intestinal flora.
These “bacterial” probiotics have the advantage of being tolerated by everyone, even by those who have not felt comfortable with a probiotic diet or have taken probiotics without benefiting from it or even with the worsening of symptoms, often linked to the increase in intestinal lactic acid .
You can find them on Amazon and they are produced by Life Extension, alternatively you can order them at the pharmacy.
