A new device will suck food directly out of the stomach through an implanted tube. The dieting system will feature a thin silicon tube that will run from the inside of the stomach to a poker-chip sized Skin-Port on the surface of the abdomen. Twenty minutes after the meal has been completed, the user will attach the held-held device to the tube and turn a lever, allowing the barely-digested food to exit the stomach and flow into the device's reservoir. The device will remove only a...

The new device will be able to determine the amount of vegetables in a person's diet in about a minute, simply by shining a laser on the person's hand. The veggie-monitor will use Raman spectroscopy (RRS) to measure the increased level of carotenoids in the skin. Carontenoids, which are the biomakers for fruit and vegetable intake, tend to cause a slight yellow skin discoloration that is particularly noticeable in the palms. A blue argon laser tuned to interact with the carotenoids...

Researchers have discovered a new protein that regulates the development of brown fat, which could lead to new methods of controlling obesity. The protein, called BMP8B, controls brown fat by regulating its heat producing activity, which could make it ideal for creating new weight control therapies. In research, brown fat cells treated with BMP8B responded strongly to nervous system activation, and mice treated with BMP8B lost more weight than non-treated mice. This is due to the...

Old CD's can be put to a new use and turned into dumbbells, providing an incentive to workout while also reducing waste. The dumbbell kit will consist of a handle and two sets of dumbbell caps. The discs will slip onto a spool running through the center and attached to the handle, and the caps will close to keep them secure. Discs can be added up to a maximum weight of 5 pounds, including the 2.2 pound handle.

I wanna have a fitness monitor that uses motion detection and analysis to record data and allows to keep track of the exercise averages with a smartphone. The monitor should weigh under an ounce and is meant to be clipped anywhere on the torso or carried in a pocket. The monitor will be able to identify specific body movements and keep track of how many calories are burned throughout the day.

My idea is to develop a device that will keep track of every bite you take, and sound an alarm when you are nearing the danger zone of overeating. The device will be worn on the wrist and will track the wrist roll motion people use when they pick up food and put it in their mouth. It will be possible to set the device for custom bite limits for each meal or for the entire day. Calories consumed will be calculated using a formula similar to those used in exercise equipment to...

It seems to be a great idea to combine furniture with exercise equipment. For getting a quick workout while you're at home such Fitness Furniture makes the most sense, allowing you to have functional home fixtures that you can also use to work up a sweat. Three items come with the Fitness Furniture set - a multi-function closet, a table that can double as equipment for dips and an attractive mat for performing floor exercises. Most notable of the objects is the storage...

The idea to combine an office chair with an exercise chair is great. This is a good way for people who spend eight hours or more sitting at a desk or workstation to keep trim by exercising during the day. The chair is easy to be used... The user sits back on a stripped bungee seating system that can mold itself to the shape and size of the individual for a comfortably ergonomic fit. There are various handles and straps below the chair, which allow the user to undertake 16 core...

Heart rate monitor watches are widely used. My idea is to improve such watches so as they are able to monitor the heart rate as well as calculate calories burnt. They can also have the capability to scan products' bar codes and provide the information about how many calories were consumed versus how many calories were burnt. I think such watches could help people who intend to lose weight.
