At this point, unless you are very young, do a lot of sports or are one of those few people who can eat practically whatever they want in the amount they deem appropriate, surely you will have done some other diet, especially just when this happens end of the year, a time when, whether we like it or not and for different reasons, we usually eat much more than we are capable of burning with our daily exercise.
As it usually happens, especially and as I said, at the beginning of the year or just before the summer arrives, statistically Internet searches about diets with which to lose those kilos that we have left go up in a rather alarming way. The truth is Miracle diets do not exist although, with studies like the one that I bring you today it seems that this may not be entirely true.
If the results of this study are true, with just an analysis, you could know if a diet is good or not for your body
Apparently and as has been demonstrated by a group of researchers thanks to a series of tests carried out on several very different groups of people, the solution to weight loss and the burning of fat that usually accumulates in the abdomen or legs may be in the presence of intestinal bacteriaIn other words, if we manage to increase the presence of very specific bacteria in our stomach, we would be able to predict for each person separately which diet would suit them best and which would not serve them.
As the researchers who have presented this project comment, apparently their discovery has been completely causal since literally what they were looking for was to verify how good for the human body was the so-called New Nordic Diet. During the analyzes carried out, they realized that the difference between the people who followed this diet and did very well and those who, despite following it, did not have much effect on them, lay in the presence of a specific type of intestinal bacteria in their bodies.
The presence of certain bacteria in your stomach can make you lose much more fat with a specific diet
Going into a little more detail about the specific investigation, tell you that it has been carried out in Denmark and for which the collaboration of no less than 181 people during 26 weeks They committed to the New Nordic Diet with more or less hope of losing weight. As a simple explanation, tell you that this diet basically consists of eating foods such as salmon, herring or oatmeal.
The truth, despite the fact that the diet may be more advisable or less at a nutritional level, is that the results that the team reached after performing different analyzes on the individuals who participated in the experiment was that depending on whether their bodies had greater amount of Prevotella spp. o Bacteroides spp. the differences in terms of results were simply too remarkable, so it was concluded that there is a strong relationship between weight loss and the presence of these bacteria.
The researchers want to test their conclusions in different places and with different types of diet
At the moment and given the conclusions that have been reached, the team of researchers has proposed to carry out the same test with a larger number of subjects in order to reach a much more realistic conclusion. If this discovery is true and corroborated, we could be facing a real revolution within the world of nutrition and dietetics.
On the other hand, it must be taken into account that the researchers themselves have not wanted to confirm the results as an absolute truth, something that surely has a lot to do with the great particularities that this study has, hence they themselves have been the ones who propose carry out the project again with other diets and people from different places to confirm its results.
