Vibration, Obesity & the Immune System. What's the Connection?
The Journal of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology report on the effects subtle vibration could potentially have on the immune systems of obese individuals.
Good Vibrations.
Within 7 months of starting a poor diet, normal mice became obese, with significant damage to their immune and skeletal systems. Daily 15-minute treatments of low-intensity vibration, barely perceptible to human touch, helped restore the immune and skeletal systems of the mice towards those of mice fed a regular diet. If this effect translates to humans, it could have benefits for obese people suffering from immune problems related to their obesity.
