Researchers at the University of Washington in the United States have found that the composition of intestinal microorganisms may affect our weight, making some people always eat fat. The researchers pointed out that there is a huge but ever-changing microbial population in the human body, most of which live in the intestine, and most of the others exist in the mouth, esophagus, stomach and upper respiratory tract. Researchers from Washington University and Stanford University have found at least 395 kinds of microorganisms in the intestines of three healthy people, which also participate in digestion and produce energy. "Some people's intestinal microbes provide energy more effectively than others, and they are more likely to gain weight." Gordon, the head of this study, believes that the energy content in food is not a fixed value. A drink containing 1 10 calories may be affected by intestinal microorganisms. Some people will absorb it all, while others may absorb less. If there is a difference of 25 kilocalories between people's daily intake and consumption, they may gain or lose more than 2 pounds a year.
Probiotics, as intestinal bacteria, can try to change the composition of intestinal microorganisms, which may be a way to change body weight. Probiotics or other strategies to control microorganisms can reduce the energy efficiency of intestinal microorganisms, have the ability to regulate the lipid metabolism level of the body, help people lose weight for a long time through intestinal colonization of live bacteria, and have the effect of changing obesity.
