New research in microbiology may help humans in reducing fat using Probiotic bacteria !:
In one of the study on probiotics, it has been concluded that probiotic supplements burn abdominal fat and thus helps in effective weight loss therapy. The supplement containing living organism like bacteria prevents intestinal fat absorption and controls weight. As normally observed, we digest all the food material as well as supplements and increase calories. But this study had shown that probiotics interfere in complete absorption of those extra calories and helps to maintain abdominal fat.
These results came from one of the study in University of Manitoba in Canada. This is also important to known that it does not mean that probiotics alone can reduce weight and therefore cannot be considered as an alternative for exercise and other recommended therapies. But, initial study had shown their role in reducing the number of calories in the body. Proper exercise along with other recommendation can further help probiotics in effectively reducing intestinal fat.
The well known microbiologist, Jeremy Burton at the Canadian Research and Development Centre for Probiotics, further added that one cannot reduce weight only by eating probiotics. These probiotics colonize in the human gut and help in developing favorable condition as required for digestions and also had no side effect on digestive system like the one with other weight loosing therapies which has sometimes side effects. Different population were given different bacteria during the study and one more conclusion came is that after a month and half, those who ate probiotic supplements of L.fermentum lost three percent of their body fat. Those who ate L.amylovorous had reduced four percent of their body weight. The another important thing which came out is that most of the fat loss was of belly fat which may be related to heart diseases.
Apart from these benefits, probiotics bacteria are also being studied at molecular level to explore their hidden potentials which may further help medical field in coming years.
Today Probiotics are greatly contributing in improving health of many peoples in many part of the world and it seems that new research in this field will further add on...
