Key Point: microbiota-induced gut metabolites
But scientific awareness is somewhat clueless about what is the right
mixture for your genetic makeup.
======================================
Professor Monika Flesher, a senior author of the study, explained that
their research shows that by supporting and maintaining the beneficial
bacteria in the gut, as well as the metabolites they produce, we may
be able to strengthen our resistance against disturbances in our
sleep-wake cycle. The goal of the study is to find a way to mitigate
body clock issues for people that commonly encounter jet lags or other body-clock disruptions like erratic work schedules or lack of natural
daytime light, something military personal like submariners may
encounter.

Diet Hit A Snag? Your Gut Bacteria May Be Partly To Blame
...
...
"We found that people who lost at least 5 percent of their body weight
had a different gut bacteria as compared to those who did not lose 5
percent of their body weight," Kashyap explains. Their findings are
published in the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings.
...
...
The successful dieters had an increased abundance of a bacteria called Phascolarctobacterium, whereas another bacteria, Dialister, was
associated with a failure to lose the weight. And, Kashyap says it's
likely that there are other types of bacteria that might influence
dieting as well.
So, how might bacteria influence weight loss? It turns out we can get
a significant number of calories from our microbes.
...
...
The new study suggests that certain bacteria - or mix of bacteria -
may be more efficient at creating "extra" calories for us to digest.
"Somewhere between 5 to 15 percent of all our calories come from that
kind of digestion, where the microbes are providing energy for us,
that we couldn't [otherwise] get," Blaser explains.

Scientists find new fat clues in feces
LONDON - Scientists in Britain have found a new link between the
diversity of bacteria in human poo - the human fecal microbiome - and
levels of harmful types of body fat.
In research that may help explain why excessive weight problems and
obesity tend to run in families, the scientists said high levels of
visceral fat - which is linked to risks of chronic disease - were
linked to having a relatively small range of bacteria in faeces.
People with a high diversity of bacteria in their faeces had lower
levels of visceral fat, according to the study published on Monday in
the journal Genome Biology.
....
....more studies were needed to understand precisely how gut microbes
influence human health and to explore possible new ways of preventing
obesity.
