Nestle is studying food additives that "eat and lose weight" with the same effect as "sitting exercise."

nestle is working on food additives that help people burn fat and "recreate" the effects of exercise without sweating. The team at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology is exploring a new food-grade compound called
C13
to stimulate certain enzymes that control how the body burns fat and sugar. If properly regulated, these foods will allow the body to achieve the same fitness effect as a quick walk without feeling the tiredness of intense exercise.this study is based on an enzyme called
AMPK
, which regulates the body's burning of fat and sugar.
AMPK
, known as
5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase
, is not new in weight loss research, but there are still challenges in controlling stimulation.Nestle's
Kei Sakamoto
told Bloomberg: "This enzyme can help people who can't stand it or continue to train hard, and it can help boost metabolism in place of
20
minutes of jogging or
40
minutes of cycling."company's goal is to package the
C13
into a food additive and turn traditional unhealthy diets, such as high sugar or fat, into more secret exercise. The team hopes to find natural substances that stimulate
control
AMPK's mechanisms.
