They have until now been seen as 'the lazy option' for
those hankering after a slimmer physique, but without the hard work. But it seems
the vibrating machine could really hold the key for overweight people when it
comes to improving their health - even if it doesn't mean losing weight. Tests
carried out by New York researchers has shown the machines could offer
significant clinical benefits for obese people suffering from a wide range of
immune problems related to obesity.
A study published online in The FASEB Journal found that
low-intensity vibrations led to improvements in the immune function of
overweight mice. Researchers say if the same effect can be found in
people, it could lead to a number of clinical benefits. Study author, Clinton
Rubin, from Stony Brook University, in New York, said: 'This study demonstrates
that mechanical signals can help restore an immune system compromised by
obesity.'

To make the discovery Rubin led a team, which fed a group
of adult mice a high fat diet for seven months to make them obese,
significantly damaging their immune and skeletal systems. Part of the group
that was subjected to daily 15-minute bouts of low-intensity vibration. The
results showed the vibrations boosted levels of disease fighting T-cells and
B-cells in the obese mice, which are both vital to the immune system.

The intervention also helped to reverse bone loss,
returning the overweight rodents toward the health of the mice that were fed a
regular diet. Gerald Weissmann, of the FASEB Journal, said: 'This solid support
for a shaky intervention should get scientists and health care professionals
buzzing. 'If it works out in people, low intensity vibration could be a
relatively cheap way of helping obese folks regain health without drugs - until
they lose weight by diet and exercise.'
