MIT researchers have cooked up a groundbreaking weight loss solution that’s got everyone buzzing – or should we say, vibrating? Meet VIBES, the Vibrating Ingestible BioElectronic Stimulator, a high-tech pill that shakes things up in your stomach to trick it into feeling full. Despite being just a tad larger than your daily vitamin, this vibrating marvel has pigs saying, “No, thanks, I’m stuffed!” And yes, we’re serious.
In a recent study, the VIBES pill, created by former MIT grad Shriya Srinivasan (now a bioengineering maestro at Harvard), showed promising results in pig trials. After 30 minutes of gentle belly buzzing, the porkers chowed down nearly 40 percent less food. The magic happens as VIBES activates stretch receptors, signaling the brain to pump up those “I’m full” hormones.
Imagine taking VIBES before a meal, like a tech-savvy appetizer, to jump-start that ‘full’ feeling. The pill, small enough to rival your daily vitamin, vibrates its way to satiety, promising a future where calorie control is just a buzz away. And here’s the kicker – it’s expected to cost just a few cents to a dollar!
So, if you’ve ever dreamed of a vibrating stomach as your secret weapon against overeating, click here to dive into the science behind VIBES and join the revolution!
