Do you want to lose weight? Watch your hand!
The first thing I thought when I read the headline "In Zaporozhye, an "anti–theft" bracelet was developed" – that this bracelet is made of zirconium, developed in the same secret Soviet laboratories and used in the same Central Kremlin Hospital as shungite pyramids, Pharaoh's rods, biophoton underpants and other rubbish, which is not I get tired of being surprised – there are buyers. Turns out, no. A natural device with neon lights, buttons and electronic stuffing inside
I quote verbatim:
Elena Kireeva, "The Reporter of Zaporozhye", 25.06.2009
According to statistics, about 45% of women and 35% of men in Ukraine are overweight. Every 10 years, the number of such people increases by 10%.
Overweight and obesity are not only a source of mental discomfort (depression, low self-esteem, chronic stress due to dissatisfaction with your figure, etc.), but also contributes to the development of a number of diseases (organs of the cardiovascular system, digestion, musculoskeletal system, endocrine, metabolic, etc.)
It is known that the signal of satiety begins to enter the brain only 20 minutes after the start of eating, and during this period many of us consume food in volumes significantly exceeding the real physiological need, and overeating is a prerequisite for the growth of excess body weight and obesity.
For self-control of his eating behavior, associate Professor of the Department of Physiology of Zaporozhye University Grigory Chausovsky has developed a special bracelet.
"With the help of a strap, it is attached to the leading arm and continuously monitors its motor activity during the meal. As soon as the eater begins to "frequent" (to consume food in volumes exceeding the limits of the physiological norm), the bracelet with a slight vibration, sound and light signals reminds of the need to moderate your appetite and chew food more thoroughly. Thus, the developed bracelet implements the function of an individual eating behavior simulator," the inventor told the "Zaporozhye Reporter".
According to Chausovsky, it takes only a few days to form a physiologically based stereotype of eating behavior with the help of a developed bracelet. In the future, it is only necessary to periodically consolidate the formed skill. And the practical significance of such a victory is obvious, because it is known that even with a small excess of body weight, life expectancy decreases by an average of 5 years, and with severe obesity up to 15 years.
And now – watch your hand: here it is, a slimming bracelet! (The batteries in the suitcases were clearly left behind the scenes.)
Why to shove our world's largest microcircuits into this plaque is unclear.
Pouring lead into it would be cheaper and certainly no less effective.
Or tie the arm to the place where the waist was, with a rubber bandage.
Well, there are many more options, including this one:
Unfortunately, the comment about what else you can use the frequency counter of hand movements, the administration of the "Reporter of Zaporozhye" severely moderated:(
