Even if you cannot see them, there are billions of bugs swarming around you, on you and in you. An yogurt introduces billions of bacteria into your gut and the “probiotics” ones standing in your intestines are believed to alleviate many issues from bowel disease to allergies. A new research published in the Molecular Systems Biology and carried out on mice has found that “probiotic” food can change metabolism and even induce weight loss.

Our gut contains about 1000 species of microorganisms, and this sophisticated flora appears to be involved in human health and weight control. In 2007, Jeremy Nicholson, a biochemist at the Imperial College London, together with a team and the Nestl� Research Center in Lausanne, Switzerland, revealed that changing the mice’s gut flora with human microbes triggered serious metabolic changes in the rodents.

In the new research, Nicholson’s team added to the diet of mice harboring human gut microbes a solution with two probiotic species of Lactobacillus bacteria, common in yogurt and baby formula. Control individuals received just a saline solution. Two weeks later, the mice’s metabolism was checked by investigating samples of feces, urine, plasma, intestinal contents, and liver tissue.

Even if the gut flora changed very little in all mice groups, this was not the case of the metabolic rate, betrayed by various markers like blood cholesterol and amino acid levels in the liver.

Of particular note was the effect of probiotics on bile acids, which help the small intestine absorb fat. Probiotics diminished the function of the acids, which may make it harder for the animals to absorb fat–and thus should keep them slim,” Nicholson said.

Just two foreign microbes impacted so deeply because bacteria inter-communicate, believe the authors.

“Gut bacteria talk to each other, so despite their relatively modest numbers, probiotics have a huge effect on what those other bugs do,” said Nicholson, who warns that mice have simpler guts than humans.

“We can’t change human genetics, but if we can alter metabolism with minor changes in gut bacteria, that’s very exciting,” Glenn Gibson, a microbiologist at Reading University, UK, not involved in this research, said.

After seeing the Victoria Secret Fashion Show on Dec. 1, most of the thoughts that went through our heads were “I am never eating again” or “feed those poor models!” To others it may have sparked some motivation to start going to the gym or make healthier food choices.

Model Kate Moss recently said, “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.” She was criticized heavily because her motto was interpreted as advocating young girls to become anorexic. However, mottos like these can be seen as an inspiration rather than a detriment.

Kate Moss is not encouraging anyone to deprive themselves of food. When I first read this quote I understood it as eating unhealthy may taste good for that moment, but after you may feel disgusting. Therefore, replacing foods that aren’t nutritionally beneficial for foods that are will allow you to feel better in the long run.

“This quote is positive because it doesn’t mean you have to necessarily be anorexic and eat nothing, it’s all about your eating habits,” said Caleigh Tansey ‘12. “If you eat a cheeseburger and still feel comfortable in your body, then eat everything you want in moderation. You can still be skinny even if you are not a supermodel … it is mentally a comfort level with yourself.”

A girl tends to lose confidence in herself when she doesn’t have the “perfect” body she constantly sees in magazine, commercials, and fashion shows. As long as we are eating healthy and exercising that is all that matters.

The majorities of these bodies are airbrushed in magazines and may not exactly be attainable unless you have the time and dedication. These Hollywood celebrities have personal trainers and workout up to three hours a day; but most of them do not live the hectic college lives we do.

“I thought the Victoria Secret Fashion Show was really well presented since the girls were so confident about their bodies and girls today usually aren’t,” said Annie LoPiccolo ‘12. “Watching this show made me want to start going to the gym.”

Most girls assume that boys prefer bodies like the ones displayed on the runway. They will go to extreme measures such as diet pills and skipping meals. Julio Gomez ‘12 added, “I prefer a woman who has a natural shape, and does not have to modify her appearance in artificial ways. I’d rather her just work out and eat healthy.”

Every individual has his or her own style and way of living. As for Kate Moss’ mantra, “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels,” if that works for her that is all that matters.

People need to explore different options and see what suits them best. Maybe running on the treadmill or playing racquetball are not your thing, so opt for pilates and yoga instead. Or maybe you don’t enjoy eating salads, so alternate between wraps and soups.

There are just so many different ways to eat healthy and stay fit, but it is you who has to pick and choose. Being happy with yourself will not only boost your confidence, but allow you to enjoy life more thoroughly.

Kim Kardashian admits to using diet pills on the Jay Leno Show.

Kim Kardashian on Wednesday revealed the secret to her hour glass figure… double stuffed fried oreos. You have never heard of that either?

The E! reality star spoke to Jay Leno for a 10@10 interview and spilled even more about her much talked about bod. “I can do anything that’s workout. And here and there I’m known to take a little diet pill. Quick Trim.”

I’m guessing that was a shout out to one of her endorsement deals but promoting diet pills, really?

Regardless, Kim is still my favorite famous for nothing celebrity and she was able to redeem herself in the interview. When Jay asked her to name all ten events of the Olympic decathlon – a tribute to her stepdad Bruce Jenner- she did with time left to spare.

Both women and men have equally wanted to have a well toned body since long. Many different ways have been tried traditionally to burn the extra fat that makes us look flabby. This included eating less or skipping meals and rigorous exercising. But now the market offers many different fat burning pills that claim to burn fat fast. Most people want to lose fat to lead a healthy life. In most of the cases this reason is to mask the obsession of having a great looking sexy body. Many fat burners or diet pills have successfully given the people desired results but many are nothing more than false claims. Many people have a common question- whether these fat burning pills actually work?

It is a proven fact that eating a balanced healthy diet and following a regular exercise regime is what is touted as the best and safest way to enjoy a slim and healthy life style. But this is also true that it is difficult for many to follow this type of routine and thus take shortcuts in achieving their goal. Fat burning pills are no miracle pills. They are chemically designed medicines that help in burning fat. But like all medications, they too have some mild or extreme side effects related to their use. Instead of using something that doesn’t work or is unsafe you must first understand the working of these pills.

There are three ways in which any fat burner pill works. The pills help in the release of fats from the fat cells, from where it enters the bloodstream. In the bloodstream they are converted to free fatty acids. These are then taken up by the muscle cells where they are burned. A second way involves the suppression of appetite and is a complex process that needs stimulation b hormones and various neurotransmitters. The last and the third way are also called blocking the fat. These fat blocker pills prevents the body from absorbing fat during digestion. Some of the side effects associated with such pills include stomach-ache, dry mouth, nausea, diarrhea and inability to absorb some of the important fat soluble vitamins and nutrients. They must be avoided along with some other medications.

Although such fat burning pills do help in fat burning process to certain extent, you must still combine them with a healthy diet and a good exercise plan. Before starting the use of such pills you must evaluate your physical conditions to avoid any harmful side effects.
