I have said this many time on this podcast: fermented foods are a must-have in your arsenal to reduce belly visceral fat. So today I am going to give you some science to back this up and share 4 links between your gut health and belly fat: 1. Some populations of bacteria that are unhealthy disrupt the gut barrier, which lets some pieces of bacteria or food in the blood stream, that shouldn’t be there.These particles that enter the circulation are recognized as a threat, which drives inflammation and insulin resistance in belly fat. 2. The bacteria in our gut produce small molecules, called Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that play a role in reducing visceral belly fatSCFAs stimulate GLP-1 and other peptides that improve metabolism and reduce belly fat accumulation   3. Unhealthy bacteria extract more calories from the diet, which can end up being stored as belly fat   4. Less inflammation means better liver function and better fat burning How do you nurture a thriving gut microbiome to accelerate belly fat loss and burning belly fat? There’s something far superior to probiotics in a pill. Something that’s the real deal : Fermented foods! Fermented vegetables bring BOTH prebiotics and probiotics. Listen to the end of this episode and get my tips on incorporating more fermented foods to your diet.   Ready to take action?
