• April 23, 2024

An inadequate balance in the intestine can produce the accumulation of fats and inflammation of the intestine; However, the correct balance of bifidobacteria reduces inflammation of the adipose tissue , accordingManuel Serrano Ríos, academic of the Royal Spanish National Academy of Medicine.

The bacteria in our intestine have a function metabolic because they help the body to save energy, which allows a greater use of nutrients, according to the site estarbien.com

In this sense, a scientific study, published in the "Journal of Functional Foods", shows that the daily consumption of food with probiotics can improve the use of energy from food, burn the fats corporal and to transform the adipose tissue .

Another result of this study is that the frequent inclusion of probiotics in the diet could reduce the levels of fats Y adipose tissue , in addition to transforming body composition.

As part of this research, the action of strains like the Lactobacillus amylovorus or Lactobacillus fermentum about body mass. Apparently these strains modify the use of energy, favoring the oxidation and combustion of fats.

Among the foods with prebiotics, the following can be mentioned:

1. Artichokes, chicory and banana: contain inulin, a natural prebiotic
2. Legumes, potato and sweet potato: they have raffinose and stachyose.
3. Garlic, onion and leek: they have derivatives of inulin and fructooligosaccharides
4. Wheat, oats and barley: they have inulin.
5. Asparagus: it has fructooligosaccharides

Several studies have analyzed the microbiota human being concluding that there is a relationship between obesity and a reduced bacterial diversity in the organism, which opens a new way of monitoring and monitoring obese patients in the future. For them, both prebiotics and probiotics would be administered.
