Gut bacteria are able to manipulate our eating behavior to help them multiply, sometimes at the expense of our fitness.

Microbes may do this by: (i) making us crave foods that they specialize on, or foods that suppress their competitors, or (ii) inducing unease until we eat foods that enhance their fitness.

So if we crave a certain food type, be aware that it’s these bacteria that are driving this behavior. Are we going to give in to them, or can we exercise our own will?

Because these bacteria can be easily manipulated by prebiotics, probiotics, antibiotics, fecal transplants, and dietary changes, changing them can help solve difficult problems of obesity and unhealthy eating.

Not able to lose weight? Depressed? It could be the gut bacteria which need adjusting. Not pharmaceutical drugs.

It is easy to Stay Healthy.
