Obesity and gut bacteria (Microbiota)
Is the best microbe a dead microbe? Did you know that we live with trillions of bacteria in our bodies? We often lead a mutually beneficial life with the bacteria in our bodies. This is called commensal life. Our large intestine is the place where bacteria are most concentrated in our body. I would like to give you a few striking examples in this regard:
- It is estimated that there are an average of 100 trillion cells in the human body. We live with more than 1 quadrillion bacteria in our body.
- Did you know that 80% of human poop at one time is bacteria?
- What if I told you that there are 1 trillion bacteria in 1 gram of human feces?
When a human is first born, it is sterile, that is, it does not contain germs. With birth, bacteria quickly settle in the body and the structure we call natural flora is formed in our skin and intestines. One of the most important reasons why breast milk is very important for newborn babies is the beneficial bacteria group it contains (bifidobacteria). If babies are not fed adequately with breast milk, a healthy flora cannot be formed. Having a healthy flora starting from infancy is extremely important for the robust development of our immune system.
Every person's gut flora is different. The diversity of bacteria in your gut is actually like your identity. Today, the microbiota is now considered a major endocrine organ. Unfortunately, there is much we do not know in this area. Obesity is a very complex disease. Why are some people obese and some not? There are many scientists who think that the bacteria living in our intestines are the source of obesity, type 2 diabetes and many diseases. Numerous studies have been conducted and continue to be done on this subject.
Having a healthy intestinal flora is closely related to our diet. Good and evil are constantly at war in the world of bacteria living in our guts. If we eat healthy, the good bacteria in our intestines become superior. If we eat fast food all the time, if we are malnourished, bad things begin to reign. If bad bacteria multiply in our intestines, after a while they start to harm us instead of benefiting us. They affect our whole body with the harmful toxins they secrete. In a study on mice, it was seen that when the feces of obese mice were transferred to the intestines of lean mice, these mice also became obese after a while. In another study, thin mice were given a bacterium (enterobacter) from the group of oral baddies for a while with food. After a while, it seems that these mice started to gain weight. A healthy diet is extremely important to have a healthy flora. Your diet also affects future generations. If you have a healthy flora, the flora of the children you give birth to is also healthy. This has been confirmed by many studies. Obesity surgeries are the most effective method in the treatment of obesity.
People who have undergone obesity surgery (tube stomach sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass do not only lose weight, but also their intestinal flora changes for the better. It is extremely important in this respect to develop a healthy diet with the weight lost after obesity surgery and the flora that has changed in a good way. Your diet also affects future generations. If you have a healthy flora, the flora of the children you give birth to is also healthy. This has been confirmed by many studies.

The CRISTENSENNELLA bacteria discovered these days have been the focus of attention of researchers. This bacterium is defined as oil-burning bacterium. It has been determined that people with this bacterium definitely do not gain weight. Unfortunately, this bacteria is not found in the intestinal flora of every person. Scientists think that one day they will be able to treat obesity by placing these bacteria in the intestinal flora of obese people.
