Although it is everyone’s dream to lose weight the easy way, it is not very possible. But scientists have created a vibrating pill to find a solution. Swallowed before a meal, this pill provides a feeling of satiety.
Although the necessary tests have not yet been carried out in humans, 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.

Scientists say that this pill activates the stretch receptors in the stomach, which causes the body to behave as if there is food there.
According to research, signals sent to the hypothalamus in the brain via the vagus nerve cause a feeling of satiety and increase the level of hormones that suppress hunger.
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, will 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.
