2485 - Gut Bacteria

A few of you may have already seen this article. It's a long one. But after yesterdays post I thought you might need some tummy help.

The Key to Weight Loss -- Gut Bacteria?
Imbalances in the microbial community in your intestines may lead to metabolic syndrome, obesity and diabetes. What does science say about how to reset our bodies?

Here's a paragraph from the ARTICLE.

Junk food caused nasty microbes to bloom, and friendly bugs to decline. Permeability of the gut also increased, meaning that microbial byproducts — like that endotoxin — could more easily leak into circulation, and spur inflammation. Simply adding prebiotics enjoyed by a select group of microbes — in this case, Bifidobacteria — kept the gut tightly sealed, preventing the entire cascade. The fortified bacteria acted like crowd-control police, keeping the rest of the microbial mob from storming the barrier. "If we take care of our gut microbiota, it will take care of our health," Cani says. "I like to finish my talks with one sentence: 'In gut we trust.'"

So read it now or save it for later. Your tummy will thank you.
