Is Your Gut Preventing Fat Loss?
Recently one of
my clients read an article in the local newspaper about fecal transplants. This
spurred an interesting discussion on the subject of gut flora during the
exercise class. So what kind of influence does gut flora have over our ability
to lose fat or maintain our desired body composition? How does gut flora impact
other aspects of our health? I’ve compiled a list of links to articles I think
are interesting about gut flora. This is not a complete list, so please share
any links in the comment area that you think are important.
So a quick trip
over to Google brought up these topics when I typed gut bacteria into the
search box; Obesity, weight loss, autism, heart disease, depression, diabetes,
anxiety, aspartame, immune system, and mood. Type gut bacteria, intestinal
bacteria, or gut flora and your favorite subject into Google and see what you
get, post the answer in the comment section.
While you are at
it, start here. Go to Youtube and type gut bacteria in the search box. Watch
this video for a quick 9 minute intro into gut flora.
