Scientists looking to tackle our ongoing obesity crisis have made an important discovery: Intermittent calorie restriction leads to significant changes both in the gut and the brain, which may open up new options for maintaining a healthy weight.

Scientists looking to tackle our ongoing obesity crisis have made an important discovery: Intermittent fasting leads to significant changes both in the gut and the brain, which may open up new options for maintaining a healthy weight.

Weight loss through intermittent energy restriction (IER) suggests a viable strategy for obese individuals worldwide.

Worldwide, more than one billion people are obese. Obesity is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and some cancers.

The "intermittent energy restriction" diet causes not only weight loss but also changes to brain activity and gut bacteria.

<p><em>Researchers from China monitored 25 obese patients losing weight during and after intermittent energy restriction (IER) for changes in their gut bacteria and in brain regions for appetite and addiction. They showed that changes in both these compartments of the brain-gut-microbiome axis are tightly coupled in time. These results suggest that these changes could be linked by an as yet unknown mechanism: either changes in the gut microbiome drive changes in the brain or vice ver...

Worldwide, more than one billion people are obese. Weight loss via intermittent energy restriction results in synchronized changes throughout brain-gut microbiome axis.

New research suggests that intermittent energy restriction (IER) — which involves eating a restricted diet or fasting on some days — may help people lose weight and alter their microbiome.

Last week it was claimed that a material that would be superconducting at  normal pressure has been found.  This substance known as LK-99 was alleged to be superconducting at normal atmospheric pressure and "room temperatures.  This would mean being able to say, make a superconducting power grid that could transport electricity witho
