Obesity Solution by EnrichingGiftsOnline Research is beginning to show that it may be what is already in your stomach rather than what you eat that is making you fat. A group of researchers at Washington University in 2006 discovered that obese people have completely different bacteria in their gut than skinny people. According to their research if you want to change your appearance you need to change your insides first. They claim that the 'fat bacteria' absorb more calories than 'skinny bacteria'. Studies are showing that this can happen in several ways. Use of antibiotics Eating an abundance of processed foods Having less than two bowel movements a day. Lets take a look at these: Using antibiotics can kill off the good or 'skinny' bacteria in your system. Antibiotics are designed to kill bacteria. They kill all the kinds of bacteria, good and bad. The problem is that most of the time the bad bacteria colonizes faster than the good bacteria especially is you are eating processed foods. Processed foods are devoid of several things. One thing it usually has in abundance is calories. It is lacking essential nutrients, including the good bacteria and enzymes. This is because of the desire to have these food last a long time on the shelves. The good bacteria and enzymes will both begin to 'digest' the foods before they are even eaten. You have all seen food left out and forgotten. It rots. This is the natural process of both bacteria (good and bad) as well as enzymes. It means the food is alive and good for your body. Unfortunately this type of food is not good for food processors or even grocery stores. It spoils before they have a chance to sell it, and they don't make a profit. Unfortunately even a lot of the 'fresh' fruits and vegetables have been processed in ways to delay spoilage. This often leads to the third item on our list. Constipation used to be defined as having less than one bowel movement a day. Some doctors are trying to say even less is 'normal'.The facts don't agree with them Having less than two bowel movements a day means that food is sitting in your intestines for more than ten hours. That is the amount of time that has been found to be a key factor. Being in your body for more than ten hours allows the food to begin to rot. This increases the amount of toxins that are released into your blood stream from your food. It also increases the amount of 'bad' bacteria in your digestive tract. The different types of bacteria need different environments in which to thrive. Rotting food sets up the environment for the bad bacteria instead of the good. What to do?
