Even after doing exercise daily and eating less calorie diet is not helping you out in cutting that extra flab, then chances are high that germs in your gut are the main culprit. A new study has given you a reason to think in such a way.
Actually, these researchers found in their study that people and mice that have lower percentage of bacteria Bacteroidetes and Higher percentage of bacteria called Firmicutes were obese when compared with others. In the same study, researchers tracked about 12 obese people who followed low-calorie diets for a year and it was found that the levels of bacteria Bacteroidetes rose in these people gradually as they turned slim.
However, the mystery is still unriddled, whether the rise in the percentage of Bacteroidetes leads to weight loss or decline in the percentage of Firmicutes leads to weight loss. But one thing is certain that both these forms of bacteria play a crucial role in weight loss and weight gain as well.
Therefore, it becomes more important to know what is lying at the bottom and for that researchers will have to keep their study in motion.
