Fat, Vibration And Weight Loss
A recent experiment suggests that it may be possible to jiggle off excess body fat. Known as vibration technology, researchers at Stony Brook University in New York worked with mice five days a week for 15 weeks. The vibrating mice had 27% less torso fat than similar non-vibrating mice at the end of the experiment.
The mice were placed on a platform that created almost more of a buzz than a vibration, vibrating at 90 times per second. Further work is being done to see what effect if might have on humans. I assume the platforms will be much larger for people, especially those with an ass like a two-dollar war mule.
Naturally, my sick mind runs wild as I consider this, yet another way to lose the lard. I like the idea of vibration anyway, and I wonder, could this be combined with sex? Gyrating wildly about on a vibrating platform, arms flailing, would without a doubt burn calories. As I picture this, I may have seen something similar on an infomercial late one night.
But, as I think of it, vibrating chairs and beds have been around for ages. Do I smell a comeback for these? I hope so. A nice walk is OK, but there is something about vibrating that conjures up fond memories.

If that’s true…Why aren’t all those shimmies and wiggles I do when I’m belly dancing magically dropping all the pounds? ROFL Maybe I’m just not vibrating at the proper frequency…Oooohmmm…LOL :goes and buys a vibrating bed:

Aw, poor little mice! All the same, if someone could come up with a painless way to keep eating the same amount of food as you get older without putting on weight they’d make a fortune. Up till now, it seems you’re more likely to lose pounds of money than lbs of weight if you try a ‘miracle cure’.

Good thought about age and weight. Here in the US, it may not be long before some of us have to choose between food and fuel. With the proper balance we may actually lose body weight while the Robber Barons (Big Oil) collect the ‘pounds’ of money.
Our obesity problem may also come to an end due to the cost of food as well. I can now carry my groceries to the car in my hands, while having emptied my wallet at the market.

Yes, food prices are going up here too, while our income (pensions paid in ever weakening pounds and changed into strong euros) are going down.
