Finding the molecular key that will see fat tissue turn from white to brown has huge potential for obesity treatments, and for weight loss in general. Yet the cellular code has been a hard one to crack. Now, scientists believe they’ve edged a step clos… Continue reading Scientists get fat cells do the heavy lifting for weight loss
While most people attempting to lose weight will know that there is an optimal “zone’’ based on the heart rate achieved during different activities, at which fat metabolizes most efficiently. However, it’s generally a one-size-fits-all approach based o… Continue reading Exercising to lose weight? Your fat-burn zone may need to change
Nearly 42% of adults across the US have obesity, according to the most recent reporting from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And while size and poor health outcomes aren’t always connected, adults with obesity also have a much higher ri… Continue reading Losing weight and keeping it off involves more than willpower
An international team of scientists is one step closer to unlocking the molecular mechanisms at work in fat tissue, which could ultimately lead to treatments to effortlessly ‘switch on’ calorie burning.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Obesity, Un… Continue reading New weapon found in fight to combat obesity, diabetes
For some people who are morbidly obese, changes in diet and lifestyle just aren’t sufficient to shed all the extra weight. A new study suggests that a hibiscus flower extract could help, without the side effects of weight-loss drugs.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Hibiscus extract shows promise as natural weight-loss supplement
Could an enzyme responsible for breaking down and eliminating booze from our bodies also be able to help us lead longer, healthier lives? Scientists have discovered a molecular mechanism that could offer just that.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, Sci… Continue reading Wonder enzyme may hold the key to longer, healthier lives
Take a look at the health influencers clicking up followers on social media these days and you’ll start to notice a trend involving some variation of taking cold showers, soaking in special tubs that make the water ice-cold, or diving into freezing bod… Continue reading Asthma drug activates healthy fat, no cold plunges needed
The fat cells of an elite athlete can appear quite different to those in an obese subject, and technologies that make one function more like the other could unlock powerful new therapies for the condition. Scientists are reporting an exciting advance i… Continue reading Major obesity advance takes out targeted fat depots anywhere in the body
Scientists are searching far and wide for new tools in the battle against rising obesity rates, and lately a promising candidate has emerged from piles of purified sand. A new study has bolstered the potential of silica particles made from this materia… Continue reading Particles made from purified sand gain momentum as obesity treatment
