The link between gut health and obesity is rapidly becoming the holy grail of weight management. There are still plenty of discrepancies in available studies but one thing is certain...
Data has shown that alterations in the bacterial composition or diversity in the gut are generally associated with changes in the metabolic profiles of the microbiota, thus influencing host health.
Remember that 90% of the metabolic functions in our body are performed by bacteria. Functions like carb and fat absorption, certain hormone production like those that control appetite or blood sugar levels or those that make us feel happy.
It's all so complex and we have only scratched the surface. The human microbiota is the most fascinating and exciting subject I have ever come across.
