BMI

Body mass index (BMI) is a good measure of overweight or obesity BUT not necessarily fitness.

Some people with a ‘normal’ BMI may have excess fat and reduced muscle mass, WHEREAS others with an ‘obese’ BMI, may have a normal amount of body fat and higher muscle mass.

Normal BMI and excess abdominal fat is a typical feature of the South Asians, specially Indians. South Asians including Indians can be classified as ‘metabolically obese’ i.e. we may be non-obese by conventional BMI standards but have high body fat and excessive fat around our belly.

Increased abdominal fat stimulates insulin resistance, which in turn promotes weight gain and risk for developing related health problems. For more details check

probiotics

Probiotics are live microorganisms that are similar to beneficial microorganisms found in the human gut hence, they are also known as "friendly bacteria" or "good bacteria”. Probiotics have been shown to provide health benefits in variety of gastrointestinal conditions such as infectious diarrhea, diarrhea associated with using antibiotics, irritable bowel syndrome, and inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease). Probiotics are also being used for preventing tooth decay and for preventing or treating other oral health problems such as gingivitis and periodontitis.
Probiotics are available in foods as well as dietary supplements. Examples of foods containing probiotics are yogurt, fermented and unfermented milk, miso, tempeh. In probiotic dietary supplements, most often the bacteria come from strains of two groups, Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium. A few common probiotics, such as Saccharomyces boulardii, are yeasts, which are different from bacteria.
However all health claims mentioned on labels of different brands of probiotic supplements may not be true so its best to consult your health care provider before taking any probiotic.
