Abstract

This paper is a bibliographic review aiming to describe the importance of microbiota in the human organism and its relationship with obesity. Original scientific articles and reviews from indexed journals such as Brazilian Cardiology articles, Scielo PubMed/Medline, SeCs were compiled. The present work described that microbiota is a population of microscopic organisms that live into the human body. Intestinal microbiota influences gastrointestinal diseases and a great variety of immunological conditions such as, diabetes mellitus type I, cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune demyelinating diseases, allergy, asthma and obesity. There is a close association between intestinal microbiota and body weight due to a modification in bacterial composition of obese people which is different from those with normal BMI. The increase in the number of health promoting microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract may be achieved by eating prebiotic and probiotic food. They change microbiota composition by creating a barrier against bad bacteria from the ecosystem. Such paper has demonstrated that when preserving intestinal integrity, it is possible to avoid the occurrence of diseases by preventing the entrance of pathogenic and antigenic microorganisms.
