Now lose flab with the help of gut bacteria

India TV News  

London: Biologists at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have for the first time identified in detail how some of our most common intestinal bacteria interact during metabolism. New research enables “tailored” diet advice - based on our personal gut microbiome - for people who want to lose weight and reduce the disease risk. “This allows us to begin identifying each individual bacteria type's metabolism and thus get a handle on the basic mechanisms in human metabolism," said Jens Nielsen, professor of systems biology at Chalmers in a statement. “In the long term we might be able to add intestinal bacteria for patients whose metabolism does not function properly," she explained. "The next generation of probiotics will pertain more to adding bacteria that integrate directly with the existing gut microbiome and make a lasting change to the composition," Nielsen noted.
