“Dr. Bruce Ames' Triage Theory Dr. Ames proposed that the body does a strategic rationing so that those proteins and enzymes in the body which are essential for short-term survival get their share of vitamins and minerals at the expense of other proteins and enzymes that are essential for long-term survival.”

“For example, some evidence suggests that having obesity increases intestinal permeability and circulating LPS concentrations – by as much as 71 percent. These effects may simply be the result of the inflammatory effects of eating an obesogenic diet.”

“Exercise increased the concentration of SCFAs in stool from participants with a lean BMI but not participants with obesity. Exercise-induced changes to the gut microbiota mostly reversed over the six-week sedentary period.”
