A group of U.S. researchers said on Friday that both meizitang botanical slimming soft gel dieting and exercising can equally help reduce weight.
Dr. Eric Ravussin of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, part of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, said the study, published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, was done under controlled conditions to demonstrate what can actually take place in our body while dieting and exercising.
"It's all about the calories, Ravussin said. "So long as the energy deficit is the same, body weight, fat weight, and abdominal fat will all decrease in the same way."
The researchers have been testing volunteers for another purpose, that is, to see if people live longer if they reduce calorie intake. The test was effective on animals, from worms to dogs. Study on monkeys and human takes longer time.
However, his team found out that cutting 25 percent of calories might contribute to longer life.
"We found that 2 of the biomarkers of aging were improved - core temperature was 0.4 to 0.5 degrees C less," he said. "Insulin, which has been shown to be a biomarker of original 2 day diet aging, was reduced," Ravussin said.
All of their findings were published in the April issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association
