Bacteria living in your gut may impact your weight, fat and good cholesterol levels, all necessary to help maintain a healthy heart, new research indicates.
The study provides new evidence that microbes in the gut are strongly linked to the blood level of HDL (good cholesterol) and Triglycerides.
“Gut bacteria may be added as a new risk factor for abnormal blood lipids, in addition to age, gender, Body Mass Index (BMI) and genetics,” said Jingyuan Fu, Associate Professor of Genetics at University Medical Centre in Groningen, Netherlands.
