Prebiotics For Weight Control
Overweight or obese?
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines ‘overweight’ with a BMI (Body Mass Index) between 25.0 and 29.9 kg/m2. If the BMI is greater or equal to 30.0 kg/m2, it is called ‘obesity.’ Whether one is overweight or obese, it simply means having excess body fat. Excess of body fat may lead to poor health – mental or physical and compromised quality of life. It may even increase our risk of diseases like diabetes, heart problems, high blood pressure, polycystic ovaries (PCODs), menstrual irregularities, infertility, and certain types of cancers etc. Obesity/overweight can be due to many factors like genetics, stress, emotional disturbances, poor sleep, medications, and choice of lifestyle, including one’s food habits and exercise.
The bacteria in our gut plays an essential role in controlling our weight. The gut bacteria take an active part in digestion and absorption of the food we eat. Like with all living organisms, the bacteria in our gut also requires food to grow. Prebiotics are the food for these gut bacteria. And what are Prebiotics? - Prebiotics are fiber which our body cannot digest, so they pass through the gut and become food for the bacteria.
