Introduction

• Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is key
  to overall well-being. Hence weight management
  becomes important.
• The gut microbiome (GM), a vast community of
  microorganisms residing in our digestive tract,
  plays a crucial role in weight management and
  overall health.
• Recent research has shed light on the intricate
  relationship between these microorganisms and our
  body's ability to maintain a healthy weight.

1. Nutrient Absorption

• The GM aids in the digestion and absorption of
  nutrients from the food we consume.
• It can influence how efficiently our body
  extracts calories from food.
• A balanced microbiome can help regulate the
  absorption of nutrients, while an imbalanced one
  may lead to over absorption of calories.

2. Metabolism Regulation

• Gut bacteria can impact our metabolic processes,
  including the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats,
  and proteins.
• An imbalance in the GM can lead to metabolic
  dysfunction, making it easier to gain weight and
  harder to lose it.

2. Appetite Regulation

• Some gut bacteria produce hormones and signaling
  molecules that influence our appetite and
  satiety.
• An imbalance in the GM can disrupt these signals,
  leading to overeating and weight gain.
