🍎 Gut Health & Weight Management ⁣ 💚 We’re so lucky to have Registered Associate Nutritionist (ANutr), Sarah from Food Is Good (F.I.G) Nutrition write an exclusive blog post for us on gut health & weight management. ⁣ 🦠 Did you know that you are only 1% human? Humans harbour 1-100 trillion microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, yeast) in our guts, which are collectively known as the gut microbiome. This is more microorganisms than the number of genes in our body, technically making us more bacteria than human! ⁣ These bacteria have many beneficial roles such as production of vitamin K and B vitamins, immune system regulation, digestion of insoluble fibre and they even have an effect on your mood. ⁣ 👶🏼 This community of bacteria develops from the day we are born and by the age of three an adult like gut microbiome is formed. We inherit a similar microbiome to our mothers however, your gut microbiome is unique to you, similar to your finger print. ⁣ 💊🍷 Our gut bacterial community is constantly changing due to many factors such as dietary intake, alcohol consumption, antibiotic use and stress. In recent years, there has been a decline in the number and diversity of bacteria found in our guts, which may have a negative effect on many aspects of our health, one being our weight. 🤸🏽‍♀️ Obesity results from a prolonged imbalance between energy intake and expenditure caused by a complex interplay between genetic susceptibility and nutritional, physiological, social, and environmental factors. Recent research has identified that the gut microbiome may also play a role. ⁣ The human gut is mostly dominated by two bacterial phyla, Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes. In normal, healthy circumstances, there is a healthy balance between these two phyla in the gut. However, a number of studies have identified a higher ratio of Firmicutes in the guts of obese subjects. ⁣ Read the rest of this fantastic article on our blog, simply click the link in our bio! 💚
