It is not possible to lose weight easily. However, scientists have produced a vibrating pill as a solution to the overweight that plagues millions of people in consumer societies.
It was stated that this drug, which is swallowed before a meal, gives a feeling of satiety.
WHEN WILL PEOPLE START USING IT?
The necessary tests have not yet been carried out in humans, but the first experiments were carried out on pigs. Half an hour after swallowing the pill, the pigs reduced the amount of food they ate by up to 40 percent on average.
Researchers say the pill activates the stretch receptors in the stomach, which causes the body to act as if there is food there.
Signals sent via the vagus nerve to the hypothalamus in the brain cause a feeling of fullness and increase the level of hunger-suppressing hormones, according to research.
THE BATTERY IN THE CAPSULE CAN BE EXCRETED
The vibrations provided by a battery in the swallowed capsule will be triggered either by a timer or by stomach acid destroying the membrane around the pill. The battery can be removed normally and smoothly by going to the toilet, the scientists say. They add that the pill, the size of a large vitamin, would be a non-surgical and temporary therapy.
But they have another idea in mind: To implant an implant with a similar function in the stomach to prevent people from taking this pill all the time.
