Obesity, known as the "king of all diseases", not only increases problems such as type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, and arteriosclerosis, but also may increase the risk of cancer. Moreover, there are more and more obese people, according to the data in the "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2022)", more than half of the adult residents in China are overweight and obese, reaching 507%, China has become the country with the highest number of overweight or obese people in the world. Obesity also has difficulties such as difficulty and ease. What to do?In addition to conventional methods such as lifestyle improvements, we can also consider new methods such as regulating the intestinal flora, which are also effective.
1. Why are there more and more obese people?
The pace of life in modern society is getting faster and faster, accompanied by the increasing changes in living habits. Increasingly unhealthy lifestyle and eating habits (eating junk food high in sugar and fat, etc.) are slowly changing people's physical functions and health conditions. Sedentary, high-intensity work, nervous anxiety, and a diet high in oil, salt and fat have also brought many negative effects, one of which is obesity. Therefore, obesity is primarily a lifestyle disease.
2. Obese people often have intestinal flora imbalance
A large number of studies have found that obese patients have intestinal flora imbalance, more harmful bacteria, and less probiotics. By regulating the intestinal flora, excessive appetite can be suppressed, digestion and absorption can be improved, and obesity can be reduced.
3. Research on intestinal microbiota transplantation to improve obesity
There are a large number of international studies on the improvement of obesity by intestinal microbiota transplantation.
Elaine W., Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA, 2020Professor Yu and his team published a study in the journal PLOS Medicine on a double-blind placebo-controlled trial of intestinal bacteria transplantation to improve obese patients. The trial evaluated 24 obese patients divided into two groups and received FMT for 12 weeks and placebo**, and concluded that:
Throughout the course, there were no serious adverse events in both groups, and FMT was safe for obesity
*After the end, there was a difference in the gut microbiota between the two groups, and the composition of the gut microbiota of the FMT patients was close to that of the donor;
FMT can effectively improve the insulin resistance of obese patients and effectively reduce the weight of patients, indicating that FMT is effective in obesity.
The study found that obese patients had no significant *** after FMT** and that obesity symptoms were relieved.
4. What is intestinal microbiota transplantation?
Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT), also known as fecal bacteria transplantation, is a kind of medicine**, by transferring the microflora in the feces of healthy people to the patient's intestine, in order to adjust and restore the patient's intestinal microbial community, improve related diseases, research has found that it has a good effect on intestinal diseases, metabolic diseases, psychiatric diseases, etc.
Therefore, obese friends can adopt new methods such as intestinal flora transplantation according to the situation while improving their lifestyle, so as to better promote the best effect and move towards health.
