Scientists Find a New Way to Lose Weight

Loss of weight can be done through freezing nerves that signal human hunger, an Emory University study shows.

Scientists have lowered hunger in overweight patients by freezing the signal sent to the nerves to show that the body is hungry.

Their study found that 100 percent of patients have felt less hungry without any complications, or side effects, and some of them have lost weight within three months, Kosovas broadcasts.

When people are hungry, a signal in the form of thin electrical impulses travels from stomach to brain, creating a sense of hunger.

The second signal acts in the opposite direction along the vagus nerve- from the brain to the stomach- and gives command for the food sent to the digestive system.

Researchers used the scan of CT images to find the best way of each of the 10 participants in the study.

As soon as they found the right way, they're in half an hour making the nerve freeze with the cold silver, which doesn't cause pain.

By freezing just one of two signals, scientists took only half of the channels available for the signal, so patients do not risk losing their appetite altogether, researchers said.

When asked how their appetites had changed 30, 60 and 90 days after the procedure, each patient said they felt less hungry, Kosovo Press broadcasts.

Three months after the act, all except one person had lost at least one small weight.

This signal causes food research and says “whatever you do is less important than finding food”, said David Prologo, the lead author of the study.
