Do you think your feelings of hunger come from the fact that YOU are hungry?
Well, in one way you would be right!
Yes, the feeling of hunger usually means that you haven’t eaten for a while...
Or that your body is sending you a signal that it needs food in order to go on!
Now, most of the time when you get hungry, you feed the need and eat a meal or a snack.
But did you know that there may be something MORE to being hungry?
In fact, researchers are now testing to determine if the bacteria living in your gut – yes, live bacteria – if they may be responsible for signaling when – and what – you should eat.
Millions of Tiny Friends
In your intestines, you have millions – if not billions – of live bacteria, living, duplicating, and – more importantly – keeping you healthy.
In fact, the number gut bacteria living inside your intestines may possibly outnumber the number of working cells that you have in your body!
Bacteria – commonly called gut flora – may help your immune system fight off nasty bacteria, viruses, and other harmful molecules that may make you sick.
But did you know they have other functions as well?
Yes, those bacteria may aid in food digestion and absorption, reduce and control inflammation, help with normal cellular signaling, release of important molecules that may lead to better mood enhancement, and may even aid in weight loss.
Now, researchers are trying to determine – or their theory is – that gut bacteria may also, to some degree, be responsible for when and what you eat.
How do they do this?
Gut bacteria thrive and feed off the nutrients that you eat. Sources like fiber, prebiotics, and other nutrients may establish and strengthen the bacteria colony, and give it the necessary nutrition it needs to keep thriving and doing its job in your intestines.
So, the researchers think that when THEY get hungry, well, they may send a signal to your brain or the rest of your body, telling you that they – the billions of them – need to be fed.
The researchers feel – and cite evidence to support this theory – that gut bacteria may influence when you’re hungry and what type of foods you should be eating.
As this future research develops, and the theory is tested, it could shed an even greater light on the role that gut bacteria play in your body in terms of digestion, absorption, weight loss, and hunger control.
Gut Bacteria and Your Health
Your gut bacteria may play a vital role in your health, energy levels, and longevity.
By supplying your body – and your bacteria – with the right nutrients (prebiotics and probiotics) you may develop a healthy relationship with the billions of tiny bacteria that currently reside in your intestines.
Plus, your overall nutrition may play a much larger role in the internal makeup of your body and bacterial colonies.
Current research and theories may further increase our understanding of the role your gut plays in everything from fighting infections and inflammation, to energy expenditure and hunger.
