Work harder to lose weight! Let the army of bacteria help you?

Weight loss is always a hot topic in the summer. However, some people try many methods but still gain more weight. What is the problem? Nutritionists crack the code to the direct train to weight loss: To help lose weight, you must first take good care of your intestines so that they have better intestinal flora, and it is the army of bacteria that plays a key role in the intestines! Supplementing with good bacteria is a good helper to develop a "thin physique" and maintain a good body shape.

Why is gut health related to weight loss? The reason is that intestinal bacteria affects the way food is digested and the amount of calories absorbed. In addition, once the intestines are unhealthy, it will cause a decrease in parasympathetic nervous system function, vasoconstriction, and poor blood circulation, which will not only lead to constipation, but also make the body prone to edema, forming a physique that is prone to obesity.

"Intestine" keeps you healthy! More vegetables, appropriate fruits, less processing

How to keep your intestines healthy? Nutritionist Su Yanchen said that when she often reads health information in newspapers and magazines, she finds that when some experts are interviewed about increasing good intestinal bacteria, nine out of ten will mention a seven-word motto: "More vegetables, appropriate fruits, less processing." In fact, in addition to using low calories and high fiber to maintain intestinal health, are there more profound reasons behind this?

In fact, the principle of "more vegetables, appropriate fruits, and less processing" is to use fiber intake to increase satiety. In addition to reducing calorie intake, low-calorie foods also intake "probiotics" and "prebiotics", which are good helpers to develop a "thin physique" and maintain a good body shape.

How to develop a physique that is easy to lose weight? One of the mysteries is "probiotics".

Having a better intestinal flora can prevent obesity

According to research, children with better intestinal flora (including probiotics and prebiotics) can reduce allergic constitution, thereby alleviating inflammatory reactions and subsequent hormonal changes, and avoiding obesity problems. Maintaining a good intestinal flora not only helps prevent childhood obesity, but also prevents adult cardiovascular disease, diabetes, gestational diabetes, and post-menopausal metabolic diseases in women (such as hyperlipidemia). A good intestinal environment is the key to having a healthy body.

It is important to cultivate the "probiotics" of "probiotics"

Since maintaining a healthy intestine is so important, how can we develop a physique that is easy to lose weight? Nutritionist Su Yanchen said that one of the secrets is "probiotics", such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. To cultivate the "probiotics" of "probiotics", to put it bluntly, is to create a "suitable living atmosphere for good bacteria". For example, the fiber in vegetables, fruits or whole grains will produce some short-chain fatty acids after digestion, providing a suitable living environment for good bacteria. In other words, if you want to develop a good intestinal physique by simply supplementing with probiotics instead of supplementing with more fruits and vegetables on a daily basis, it will probably be in vain.

People who want to lose weight should control their calorie intake, remember to "eat more vegetables and appropriate fruits", and increase physical energy consumption.

The report pointed out that there is a kind of harmful intestinal bacteria - "Firmicutes", can it really cause the annoying "fat-prone physique"? In other words, can you become slim and fit just by reducing the "Firmicutes"? News reports pointed out that observational studies have found that obese people have 20% more "thick-walled bacteria" than those with normal body shape; however, later more rigorous animal experiments found that although the intestinal flora of obese mice was also like this, there was not much difference in actual calorie consumption.

Therefore, for those who want to lose weight, controlling calorie intake, remembering to "eat more vegetables and appropriate fruits", and increasing physical energy consumption are the best ways to lose weight!
