We all know that gut flora is vital to attaining and maintaining good health. However, certain microbes, when allowed to flourish in a not so diverse environment, can negatively impact your health and ability to maintain a healthy weight.
A recent scientific journal published in BioEssays suggests that certain harmful microbes in your gut can cause you to have unhealthy food cravings. They can influence your eating behaviour by altering reward and fullness pathways in your brain, by producing toxins that affect your mood, by changing your taste receptors, and by taking over a vital nerve that connects your gut to your brain, one that regulates eating behaviour and body weight.
Introducing probiotics into your diet is an easy way to increase your likeliness of success in losing weight and maintaining a healthy diet. They help battle these harmful microbes by increasing the diversity of your gut flora, which help you to regulate your appetite and energy balance.
