Adopting healthy eating habits and choosing a healthy diet plan may not help you reap the best advantages because of the bacterial community difference in humans inside their guts, a new research finds out.

Certain human bacteria obstacle right absorption of a healthy diet plan, says the study. The organism that modified the effects of a healthy diet was identified by the study. For example, if a specific healthy diet plan for men is prescribed, it is important to figure out what microbes boost those benefits, comments Jeffrey Gordon, the senior author of the study at Washington University in St. Louis.

In order to bring high effects of a healthy diet for weight loss, it is important to study how the diet influences the microbiota in human guts and how a microbiota accustomed to one dietary condition responds to a new dietary plan.  For this, Gordon and his team analyzed samples of faeces from men who ate a calorie-restricted, plant-rich diet and men who followed a typical, unrestricted American diet, reports The Economic Times.

People eating restricted, plant-rich diet enjoyed a more diverse microbiota which means more possibility of absorbing healthy diet. The researchers also found the ways to find gut microbial communities in different people to know the organism that helps a certain healthy diet plan benefit a body.

According to Times of India, the scientists are hopeful that soon they will be able to frame out a strategy for every human group to benefit from a healthy diet like a healthy diet during pregnancy or a healthy diet for men.

The new approach will help to identify microbes of different sorts and one day these microbes will be used as next-generation probiotics. In this case, a healthy diet chart for anyone will follow an entirely different plan!
