EFFECT of GREEN TEA and Lactobacillus gasseri AGAINST OBESITY

Obesity is one of the most important health problems in our country and in the world. Overweight and obesity are related to more deaths worldwide than underweight and cause many chronic diseases. Most of the researchs conducted show that weight loss is the main goal of obesity treatment. Therefore, the production of foods that aims prevention of obesity has become an important issue today. Probiotic bacteria are microorganisms that have a positive effect on human health, are included in the list of GRAS (generally recognized as safe) and are dominant in the human intestine. It is widely used in many food products due to its beneficial effect on human health. Lactobacillus gasseri, a probiotic microorganism, has been determined to be effective against obesity by studies. In addition, it has been observed that green tea (Camelia sinensis), which is beneficial for human health and widely consumed, is also effective in loss weight. In this study, as a result of the research conducted, comprehensive information was given that Lactobacillus gasseri and green tea, which have beneficial effects for human health, have positive effects against obesity.
