The team of researchers from Cornell University, USA, found that bacterial microbes called Christensenellaceae can make someone stay slim and prevent obesity. Reported by The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday (11/18/2014) This is the gut microbes and, interestingly, are genetically related.
Research published in the journal Cell this month found that the increasing rate of obesity is caused due to the use of antibiotics. One of the functions of antibiotics alone is to kill bacteria.
In these studies, it was mentioned that a man is "host" for about 100 trillion microorganisms or bacteria that is spread on every inch of the skin, mouth, nose, ears and other body organs.
Several types of bacteria to function not only digest food and fight foreign substances in the body, but also produce vitamins and chemicals that regulate the immune system.
After the use of antibacterial growing rapidly, some types of bacteria disappear from the human body, among which is the bacterium Helicobacter which helps regulate appetite. Without these bacteria, humans may have lost the natural signal that tells them to stop eating.
In addition to its antibacterial, lifestyle is also quite affecting the growth of bacteria in the body.
"We found that the loss of some useful bacteria is influenced not only by age and antibiotics, but also by how much alcohol you drink, how much exercise and how much sleep a day," says microbiologist Rob Knight, head of research.
The researchers analyzed fecal samples from nearly 1000 people between the ages of 23-86. In that sample was found that those who have more bacteria on average Christensenellaceae have a more slender body shape.
It also found that bacteria genetically related Christensenellaceae. Although the researchers do not know exactly what causes it.
