- ED trigger warning -

Being skinny ruined my life. If you’re thin and think to yourself, “why don’t fat people just lose weight?” Please read this

I was the “ideal fat” in the sense that I did everything skinny people wanted me to do. I tried every diet in the book. I exercised regularly. I worked with doctors and dietitians to figure out the best way to lose weight. But nothing worked. I did everything “right” to lose weight, and my weight stayed the same

But the thin people in my life kept telling me that I wouldn’t be happy, attractive, healthy, etc. until I lost weight. So, heartbroken, I came to the conclusion that anorexia was the only option left. It felt safer than bariatric surgery, and was obviously much more affordable

I became the perfect anorexic. 700 cal a day or less, except once a week I allowed myself 1400 cal. For reference, my body required at least 2800 to maintain weight, and at least 1800 to keep my organs and stuff fully functioning. Still, 700 a day, I persisted because everyone in my life told me weight loss was all that mattered. If dieting didn’t work, anorexia had to

And it did. My weight dropped all the way down to 110 pounds. I was skinny - underweight, even - in all sense of the word. The people in my life saw it as a miracle. The ultimate success story. My mother, my “friends,” my doctors, they all congratulated me on my accomplishment

When I confessed my eating disorder to my doctor, he told me, “that’s not the best way to go about it, but I’m glad you lost the weight.” My mother took pictures of me and sent them to relatives to brag

Okay, great. I was skinny. I did what I set out to do. But there were severe consequences

The most obvious was my joint pain doubled, maybe even tripled, to the point that I couldn’t leave the house without a wheelchair

I also developed several health complications, including fatty liver disease and extremely painful GERD. I had to see a handful of specialists and get an endoscopy because of severe stomach pain

My partner, who was the only person who saw my weight loss for what it was (a horrible thing that only happened because of an eating disorder), convinced me to enter a recovery program

For nearly a year, I relearned how to feed myself. I ate everything I was told to eat, nothing more and nothing less. My diet was 100% in the hands of somebody else

And I gained back every pound I has lost. All of the work to become thin went right out the window. It was proven to me that thinness and health were incompatible with my body. If I wanted to be thin, I had to forgo my physical and mental well-being. And vise-versa

Prior to the anorexia, I never once struggled with binge eating. I was naturally an intuitive eater, and I did a good job of having a well rounded diet. After the anorexia, after recovery, I developed a binge eating disorder. I had spent so long starving myself, that my brain and body got stuck in survival mode, desperate to consume any and all calories out of fear that I might starve again. To this day I struggle with binge eating

I did everything thin people wanted of me. I dieted. I exercised. And when all else failed, I starved myself. Now I have liver disease, stomach issues, and BED. Not to mention the loads of mental issues that accumulated as a result of my weight loss journey. During the throes of my anorexia, I had to be hospitalized for suicidal ideation

When you tell fat people to “just lose weight” you are suggesting they give themselves illnesses for which treatments are not always effective. You are asking fat people to destroy their stomachs and livers. When a fat person loses so much weight that they become skinny, they are likely giving up so much of their health in efforts to be treated like a human being

If you’re thin, do your part. Treat fat people like people before we tear our bodies apart

[fatliberation]

I totally understand and can empathize with fat activists when it comes to medical fatphobia. But I do think its important to provide nuance to this topic.

A lot of doctors mention weight loss, particularly for elective surgeries, because it makes the recovery process easier (Particularly with keeping sutures in place) and anesthetic safer.

I feel like its still important to mention those things when advocating for fat folks. Safety is important.

What you're talking about is actually a different topic altogether - the previous ask was not about preparing for surgery, it was about dieting being the only treatment option for anon's chronic pain, which was exacerbating their ed symptoms. Diets have been proven over and over again to be unsustainable (and are the leading predictor of eating disorders). So yeah, I felt that it was an inappropriate prescription informed more by bias than actual data.

(And side note: This study on chronic pain and obesity concluded that weight change was not associated with changes of pain intensity.)

If you want to discuss the risk factor for surgery, sure, I think that's an important thing to know - however, most fat people already know this and are informed by their doctors and surgeons of what the risks are beforehand, so I'm not really concerned about people being uninformed about it.

I'm a fat liberation activist, and what I'm concerned about is bias. I'm concerned that there are so many BMI cutoffs in essential surgeries for fat patients, when weight loss is hardly feasible, that creates a barrier to care that disproportionately affects marginalized people with intersecting identities.

It's also important to know that we have very little data around the outcomes of surgery for fat folks that isn't bariatric weight loss surgery.

A new systematic review by researchers in Sydney, Australia, published in the journal Clinical Obesity, suggests that weight loss diets before elective surgery are ineffective in reducing postoperative complications.

CADTH Health Technology Review Body Mass Index as a Measure of Obesity and Cut-Off for Surgical Eligibility made a similar conclusion:

Most studies either found discrepancies between BMI and other measurements or concluded that there was insufficient evidence to support BMI cut-offs for surgical eligibility. The sources explicitly reporting ethical issues related to the use of BMI as a measure of obesity or cut-off for surgical eligibility described concerns around stigma, bias (particularly for racialized peoples), and the potential to create or exacerbate disparities in health care access.

Nicholas Giori MD, PhD Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Stanford University, a respected leader in TKA and THA shared his thoughts in Elective Surgery in Adult Patients with Excess Weight: Can Preoperative Dietary Interventions Improve Surgical Outcomes? A Systematic Review:

“Obesity is not reversible for most patients. Outpatient weight reduction programs average only 8% body weight loss [1, 10, 29]. Eight percent of patients denied surgery for high BMI eventually reach the BMI cutoff and have total joint arthroplasty [28]. Without a reliable pathway for weight loss, we shouldn’t categorically withhold an operation that improves pain and function for patients in all BMI classes [3, 14, 16] to avoid a risk that is comparable to other risks we routinely accept.

It is not clear that weight reduction prior to surgery reduces risk. Most studies on this topic involve dramatic weight loss from bariatric surgery and have had mixed results [13, 19, 21, 22, 24, 27]. Moderate non-surgical weight loss has thus-far not been shown to affect risk [12]. Though hard BMI cutoffs are well-intended, currently-used BMI cutoffs nearly have the effect of arbitrarily rationing care without medical justification. This is because BMI does not strongly predict complications. It is troubling that the effects are actually not arbitrary, but disproportionately affect minorities, women and patients in low socioeconomic classes. I believe that the decision to proceed with surgery should be based on traditional shared-decision making between the patient and surgeon. Different patients and different surgeons have different tolerances to risk and reward. Giving patients and surgeons freedom to determine the balance that is right for them is, in my opinion, the right way to proceed.”

I agree with Dr. Giori on this. And I absolutely do not judge anyone who chooses to lose weight prior to a surgery. It's upsetting that it is the only option right now for things like safe anesthesia. Unfortunately, patients with a history of disordered eating (which is a significant percentage of fat people!) are left out of the conversation. There is certainly risk involved in either option and it sucks. I am always open to nuanced discussion, and the one thing I remain firm in is that weight loss is not the answer long-term. We should be looking for other solutions in treating fat patients and studying how to make surgery safer. A lot of this could be solved with more comprehensive training and new medical developments instead of continuously trying to make fat people less fat.

So, with the knowledge that the Magic Crown was imbued with the Wish to make its wearer into a clone of Urgence Evergreen

It becomes quite clear that the mental transformation of Simon Petrikov into Ice King was less of a direct effect of the Crown, but rather an indirect result of its various side-effects. 

Simon lost his original interest in academia and research as a result of the Crown’s Madness clawing away at his Memory. Obviously the loss of his long-term memories straight-up made him forget the things he once loved and the things he once learned. And the degradation of his short-term memory made it hard for him to ever re-learn anything he has forgotten.

Other effects of the Magic-Madness-Fueled mental deterioration included an ever-shortening attention span and general childishness - both of which made it hard for him to pursue the sort of academic research that was once his bread and butter.

Meanwhile, Simon’s Sadness of losing Betty had metamorphosed through both memory loss and delusion into an obsession with Princesses. And this has also led into a secondary obsession with being attractive enough to be desirable to Princesses - Filtered through Ice King’s extremely limited and somewhat immature understanding of both relationships and gender roles. Simon replaced his original intellectual pursuits with chasing a very simple image of idealized ‘sexy’ masculinity that he was… probably never capable of pulling off, let’s be honest. But especially not as Ice King, not just due to his disconnect from reality - but also due to how simplified, shallow and kinda-childish his idea of being 'manly' actually is.

One of Ice King’s biggest hobbies is exercise, body-building and weight loss - because he wants to be a muscular hunk to attract the princesses. Although with his loose grip of reality, his idea of a ‘muscular hunk’ is more of an Emaciated Hermit. 

This is the most obvious example of Ice King’s obsession with his own physical appearance, but certainly not the only one. 

And such, despite not being directly ‘programmed’ too, the Crown turned the nerdy, hopelessly-romantic academic Simon Petrikov into the Ice King - A goofy silly idiot obsessed with being attractive to the opposite sex and fitting into a very shallow idea of idealized gender presentation. And therefore, the Crown’s effect on Simon can be absolutory considered to be a valid form of Bimbofication.

I am very interested in Labrats au stuff currently and I would love any facts about it, like things about how the experiments affected their overall health and stuff like that!!

Yeah! lemmie say some notes on those-

Every patient now, instead of having a tracking bracelet, has an implant that is put into their upper back/neck area, along the spinal cord.

(Rough idea)

These are implanted as soon as a new patient is put into the Patient Program, where they are then put through multiple "appointments" where they are either injected with the mutating agent, or put through surgical corrective procedures.

The typical mutational process takes months or even up to a year of gradual injections, the dosage of which increasing with nearly every appointment. The first appointment is simply a starter, seeing how the agent effects the patient, and seeing if they're a viable test subject or if they won't be able to withstand the mutations. (Failing test subjects will be subjected to more tests, (namely prototype versions of mutations they're planning for proper patients) or are simply disposed of. Luckily, all 6 participants of the patient program were all able to withstand the mutations, to varying degrees.

The mutations effect the patient's health in different ways, some living mostly normally despite the changes in their body, with others having many health issues due to the changes. Mark and Sam are two ends of that spectrum.

Mark, despite the occasional pain in both his "wings" and "talons", he lives mostly normally. very little harmful health issues, as all his organs function properly, aside from his brain, being mildly effected to the point it causes outbursts of violence and a seemingly lack of awareness, like an animal. However, these incidents are rare, only happening on random chance or when he's under extreme stress. He has adjusted well to his mutations, most likely due to Thatcher's help in rehabilitation.

Sam however, is not dealing with his mutations well. Due to his extreme height and weight change, he had to go through multiple corrective procedures on his heart and lungs specifically so they'd be able to support the long limbs and more effort needed to move his body. He also suffers from memory loss and delayed brain functions, digestion issues, along with poor circulation, even despite the surgery on his heart to try and fix that problem, causing his pale, cool colored skin. He has to remain under observation to make sure he doesn't collapse or over exert himself. Due to his inability to move very fast otherwise he risks passing out, MBT has plans in place just in case they need a new patient guardian.

Analysis of Johnny's Character Design Pt.1

CW: Discussion of malnutrition, poverty, and childhood hunger

So, one of the first things that you notice about Johnny in terms of character design is how small he is. This is incredibly noticeable in Sing 1 when you compare him to his family, with him barely reaching his dad's shoulder when standing flat on the ground.

However, while that could be dismissed as Marcus being older, we do see Johnny around gorillas who are implied to be close to his age in Sing 2. And he is still noticeable shorter than them.

Now, most people's first thought would be that Johnny might be a different subspecies of gorilla. After all, those all have different height and weight ranges. But, we actually can't use this line of logic here as Johnny has been called a Mountain Gorilla. Which is the second largest gorilla subspecies in the world. And the least endangered gorilla subspecies are smaller than Mountain gorillas. Meaning that yeah, he should be much bigger than he actually is.

So why isn't he? Well, as I discussed in my analysis of the gang and why they likely turned to crime, Johnny and his dad would likely be below the poverty line, even with money from their crimes. Meaning that they would not have money laying around to cover their expenses in the slightest. And one of those expenses would be food.

There isn't a ton of research in malnourishment of gorillas that I found readily available online (which I think is probably a good thing since that means its not that common in nature so yay), so I will just be using the common indicators from humans and other great ape species.

Some of these indicators however, are blatantly obvious on Johnny once you know what to look for.

Hair Thickness and Shine

The first thing that is an indicator that Johnny is malnourished is his hair (yes, Gorillas have hair, not fur). Hair is actually used a fair bit by people in healthcare as a way to se what the potential health problems a patient is facing. Common things that can be diagnosed with hair as a symptom are things like anemia and thyroid issues. However, as your hair is very dependant on your health (think about those multivitamins that help your hair as well as other parts of your body), it is a way to see malnutrition.

When you are malnourished, your hair becomes brittle/course, thin, and dull. It loses pigmentation as well. It also tends to fall out, with hair loss being a huge indicator. And while we never see Johnny actively losing hair in the movie, we see the rest of the indicators.

See the similarities in the texture and shine quality of the hair? The child's face is censored for their privacy of course, but that photo comes from an article talking about malnutrition and childhood hunger in Nicaragua and is a before photo from their program.

But let's look at Johnny's hair real quick. It's very brittle/coarse looking but not thick. The coarseness might make it seem that way, but look at his hand. The hair is patchy, as if it is very thin and has been falling out. The dullness of his hair is pretty obvious, though, it does appear shiny due to the spotlight. Again if you look on his hand, it has no natural shine to it. The lack of pigmentation is going to look the most different between species obviously, but it's import to point out that Johnny's hair is way more brown here than we see it in Sing 2, aka, a loss of pigmentation. His hair is pretty bluntly saying he's malnourished.

However, these effects can be fixed! Typically, in a lot of cases that is, these effects of malnutrition on hair will disappear (or start to) after six months of nutritional stability. Which makes sense when we see Johnny in Sing 2! I put the time of the movies to be about a year apart, and this makes sense with the changes in Johnny's hair. It's thicker, no longer course, and has a shine to it. The amount of brown has evened out more naturally into his hair, looking more like natural highlights in comparison to a loss of pigmentation as it did earlier. These changes are especially obvious when you look at Johnny's hands. The hair there looks full and isn't patchy, and is the place where we can easily see the natural shine. Johnny has been eating regularly for at least six months. His hair has healed.

Posture

Now, this one is not used at all from what I can see online (or from when I bugged my medical friends) as an actual diagnosis aid. And I will admit the original study on this was conducted a very long time ago. However, several medical institutions do still seem to list diet as a thing that can effect your posture, so I'm going to run with it (I do not have a medical degree, I just know wayyy too many doctors).

The thing that effects your posture in terms of nutrition is your vitamin intake. Several vitamins, namely vitamin D and calcium, are essential for bone health. And your spine, surprise surprise, is made of bones. If you do not consume enough of these vitamins, your bones become weak and supporting body weight is difficult, leading to you likely having worse posture than normal.

And in Sing 1, which character has arguably the worst posture I have seen in my entire life? Johnny.

And again, this is a thing that changes drastically between the two movies. And is absolutely something I want to contribute to the clear change in the amount of food this kid is eating.

Sorry, this was the clearest photo I could easily find. But! Look at that difference! There is still a slight curve, which is in most people's posture, but it has greatly improved. His bones, muscles, and ligaments are getting the amount of nutrition they need to actually work properly and support his body.

Size/developmental Milestones

Now this is the most obvious one and the thing that kicked off this research deep dive. Johnny is obviously smaller than his father and uncles in Sing 1, who are the same subspecies as him. However, I will agree, that is not a fair comparison. Marcus, Stan, and Barry are mature adults and have finished growing. Johnny is still a juvenile-young adult in the gorilla lifespan (I place him as 17 in Sing 1).

However, that does mean Johnny should be closing the gap with them, or starting to, in terms of height and weight. But he clearly isn't. In fact, we see that he hasn't grown by Sing 2 either, when gorillas around his age are very clearly bigger than him.

Malnourishment stunts the growth of children significantly. In fact, that is typically one of the first signs doctors look for (think of how your height and weight are checked at every doctor visit). This effects millions of children worldwide every day and it is very very important to remedy this as quickly as possible.

Why? Because as a whole, stunted growth is largely irreversible. While the child can recover weight pretty easily, height isn't the same. Even if they do eventually get nutritional stability, it's unlikely that they will actually grow to the height they could have been before. And I feel like that is a prime example of what has happened to Johnny.

While in the year between the two movies Johnny has clearly had nutritional stability and has largely recovered in terms of health, he hasn't grown much, if at all. And Johnny is 17-18 years old (by my estimate, he could be as old as 19 in Sing 2 but that is the eldest I'm able to believe), he should still be growing. However, again, when we compare him to other gorillas his age, he is significantly behind in growth. And will likely remain that way his entire life.

So...

In summary, I believe that, despite the drastic measures taken by Marcus, Stan, and Barry to support him, Johnny did grown up malnourished, resulting in his growth being stunted. This malnourishment was replaced with nutritional stability in the year between the two movies, likely while he was in foster care and the debt of the garage was payed off by Nana or another capable party. Despite this dietary change between movies and Johnny's newfound health, his growth had been stunted for long enough that the damage was irreversible, leading to Johnny being so noticeably small compared to other gorillas who are around his age.

 HIIT ABS WORKOUT

Your abdominal muscles are divided into four groups that cover the front and sides of your stomach. They are essential in many of your daily actions, allowing you to bend, stretch, and remain stable throughout the day. By strengthening your abs, you may improve your posture, lower your risk of back pain, eliminate slouching, and, with hard work, potentially achieve the coveted'six pack'. So, how can you incorporate a short and effective ab workout into your weekly fitness routine? That's where abdominal HIIT workouts come in.

WHY IS HIIT GOOD FOR ABS?

HIIT training (High Intensity Interval Training) is a popular training approach for enhancing fitness, stamina, and fat loss. Countless studies have shown the enormous benefits you can notice to your health and wellness by alternating between times of high and moderate intensity while working out.

But HIIT isn't only about increasing your VO2 max or burning calories; it may also be an effective way to enhance strength, build muscle, and target specific regions. One of the numerous benefits of HIIT training is its versatility, which allows you to tailor practically any type of workout to suit inside the interval training pattern. As a result, if you want to focus your workouts on developing your abs, it's simple to create a routine that targets this area. Furthermore, the bursts of high intensity activity allow you to reap the advantages of a much longer workout in just 15 or 20 minutes, making it ideal for achieving significant results in a short period of time.

IS HIIT THE BEST APPROACH FOR AN ABS WORKOUT?

Your goals will determine whether or not HIIT is the right fit for you. If you want to strengthen your abs while burning fat and toning up, frequent HIIT workouts are a great option. However, if you're looking for a visible'six pack' abs area, a dedicated weight lifting or strength training program may be a better option, however combining this with HIIT workouts will still yield excellent results. Developing a visibly'sculpted' body composition requires a lot of effort and is most successful if your body fat is already low, which is why HIIT is an excellent complement to strength training.

The Ultimate Guide to Finding a Personal Trainer in Sligo

Nestled on Ireland's rugged west coast, Sligo is a town steeped in natural beauty and cultural richness. From the picturesque landscapes of Benbulben and the wild Atlantic coast to the tranquil serenity of Lough Gill, Sligo offers an idyllic setting for anyone looking to improve their health and fitness. Whether you're an athlete training for a specific goal, someone looking to lose weight, or just hoping to lead a healthier lifestyle, finding the right personal trainer in Sligo can be a game-changer.

This guide will help you navigate the journey of finding the best personal trainer in Sligo. We’ll cover everything from the benefits of hiring a personal trainer to tips on choosing the right one for your needs, and we’ll even spotlight some of the top trainers in the area.

Why Hire a Personal Trainer?

1. Personalized Fitness Plans

Personal trainers provide individualized workout plans tailored to your specific goals, fitness level, and any physical limitations. Unlike generic workout routines you might find online, a personal trainer assesses your unique needs and creates a program that will help you achieve the best results.

2. Accountability

One of the biggest challenges in maintaining a consistent fitness routine is staying motivated. A personal trainer keeps you accountable, ensuring you show up for your workouts and give your best effort each time.

3. Expert Guidance

Personal trainers possess in-depth knowledge of exercise science, anatomy, and nutrition. Their expertise ensures you perform exercises correctly, reducing the risk of injury while maximizing effectiveness. This guidance is especially valuable for beginners who may not be familiar with proper techniques.

4. Efficiency

Time is precious, and a personal trainer helps you make the most of it. By designing efficient workouts that target your specific goals, a trainer ensures you get the maximum benefit from each session, even if you’re short on time.

5. Support and Motivation

Beyond the physical benefits, personal trainers provide emotional support and encouragement. Whether you're feeling discouraged, frustrated, or unmotivated, a good trainer knows how to keep you on track and focused on your goals.

What to Look for in a Personal Trainer

When choosing a personal trainer in Sligo, it's important to consider several factors to ensure you find the best match for your needs.

1. Qualifications and Certifications

The first thing to check is whether the trainer is properly certified. Reputable certifications include those from organizations like the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), the American Council on Exercise (ACE), and the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). These certifications ensure the trainer has a solid understanding of exercise science and safety protocols.

2. Experience and Specializations

Experience is key when selecting a trainer. Ask how long they’ve been working as a personal trainer and if they have experience working with clients who have similar goals to yours. Some trainers specialize in areas like weight loss, sports performance, injury rehabilitation, or strength training. Choose a trainer whose expertise aligns with your fitness objectives.

3. Communication Style

Your trainer's communication style should resonate with you. Some people prefer a no-nonsense, drill-sergeant approach, while others might thrive under a more supportive, encouraging trainer. During your initial consultation, pay attention to how the trainer communicates and decide if their style will keep you motivated.

4. Client Testimonials and Reviews

A good trainer should have a track record of satisfied clients. Look for testimonials on their website or ask for references. Online reviews on Google or social media can also provide insight into the trainer’s reputation and effectiveness.

5. Location and Availability

Consider the location of the trainer’s gym or studio. Is it convenient for you? If the location isn’t easy to get to, you might find it harder to stick to your training schedule. Additionally, make sure the trainer’s availability aligns with your own. Flexibility in scheduling can be crucial, especially if you have a busy lifestyle.

6. Cost

Personal training can be a significant investment, so it’s important to ensure you’re getting value for your money. Trainers in Sligo may charge different rates based on their experience, expertise, and the services they offer. Some may offer packages or discounts for multiple sessions, so be sure to discuss pricing upfront.

The Importance of Nutrition in Personal Training

While exercise is a crucial component of any fitness regimen, it’s only one part of the equation. Nutrition plays an equally important role in achieving your fitness goals. A good personal trainer in Sligo will emphasize the importance of a balanced diet and may even offer nutritional guidance as part of their services.

1. Understanding Your Nutritional Needs

Everyone’s nutritional needs are different, depending on factors like age, gender, activity level, and fitness goals. Whether you’re looking to lose weight, build muscle, or simply maintain a healthy lifestyle, your trainer can help you understand your specific nutritional requirements.

2. Meal Planning and Preparation

A personal trainer may offer meal planning services to help you stay on track with your diet. This can include creating a weekly meal plan, providing healthy recipe ideas, and offering tips for meal prep. By taking the guesswork out of nutrition, your trainer can help you stay focused on your fitness goals.

3. Supplementation

In some cases, your trainer may recommend supplements to support your fitness goals. Whether it’s protein powder, vitamins, or pre-workout supplements, it’s important to only take supplements that are safe and beneficial for your body. Always discuss any supplementation with your trainer to ensure it aligns with your overall health plan.

The Role of Technology in Personal Training

In recent years, technology has revolutionized the fitness industry, and personal training is no exception. Many trainers in Sligo are incorporating technology into their services to enhance the client experience.

1. Online Coaching

For clients who can’t always meet in person, many trainers offer online coaching services. This can include virtual training sessions via video calls, as well as digital workout plans and progress tracking. Online coaching offers flexibility and convenience, making it easier for you to stay on track, even with a busy schedule.

2. Fitness Apps

Many personal trainers use fitness apps to enhance their services. These apps can track your workouts, monitor your progress, and even provide reminders for your sessions. Some trainers may have their own branded apps, while others might use popular platforms like MyFitnessPal, Trainerize, or Strava.

3. Wearable Technology

Wearable devices like fitness trackers and smartwatches have become popular tools for monitoring physical activity. These devices can track your heart rate, steps, calories burned, and even sleep patterns. Your personal trainer may use data from these devices to fine-tune your workout program and monitor your progress more effectively.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Personal Training Experience

To maximize the benefits of working with a personal trainer, it’s important to approach your sessions with the right mindset and habits.

1. Set Clear Goals

Before you start working with a trainer, take some time to think about what you want to achieve. Whether it’s losing a certain amount of weight, running a marathon, or improving your overall fitness, having clear goals will help your trainer create a program that’s tailored to your needs.

2. Be Consistent

Consistency is key when it comes to achieving results. Make a commitment to attend your sessions regularly and stick to your workout plan. Over time, your dedication will pay off in the form of improved fitness and better health.

3. Communicate with Your Trainer

For patients battling diabetes, a group of Chinese scientists and clinicians may offer a glimmer of hope. For the first time in the world, a patient’s diabetes has reportedly been cured using cell therapy.

The patient, a 59-year-old man who had been living with type 2 diabetes for 25 years, was at serious risk of complications from the disease. He had a kidney transplant in 2017, but had lost most of his pancreatic islet function which controls blood glucose levels, and relied on multiple insulin injections every day.

“He was at great risk of serious diabetes complications,” Yin Hao, a leading researcher at Shanghai Changzheng Hospital, told Shanghai-based news outlet The Paper earlier this month.

The patient received the innovative cell transplant in July 2021. Eleven weeks after the transplant, he was free of the need for external insulin, and the dose of oral medication to control blood sugar levels was gradually reduced and completely stopped one year later.

“Follow-up examinations showed that the patient’s pancreatic islet function was effectively restored,” Yin said. The patient has now been completely weaned off insulin for 33 months.

The medical breakthrough, achieved by a team of doctors and researchers from institutions including Shanghai Changzheng Hospital, the Centre for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Renji Hospital, all based in Shanghai, was published in the journal Cell Discovery on April 30.

“I think this study represents an important advance in the field of cell therapy for diabetes,” said Timothy Kieffer, a professor in the department of cellular and physiological sciences at the University of British Columbia in Canada.

Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the way our bodies convert food into energy.

What we consume is broken down into glucose – a simple sugar – and released into the bloodstream. Insulin, produced by the islets of the pancreas, is essential for regulating blood sugar levels.

In diabetes, this system is hijacked: either the body does not produce enough insulin, or it cannot use the insulin it produces effectively.

There are several types of diabetes, of which type 2 is the most common, affecting almost 90 per cent of sufferers. It is largely diet-related and develops over time.

Regardless of the type of diabetes, failure to maintain normal blood glucose levels over time can lead to serious side effects, including heart disease, vision loss and kidney disease.

According to the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, “there isn’t a cure yet for diabetes”.

Along with losing weight, eating well and taking medication, insulin is the mainstay of treatment for some, but this requires frequent injections and monitoring.

Scientists around the world are researching islet transplant as a promising alternative, mainly by creating islet-like cells from human stem cell cultures. Now, after more than a decade of work, the group of Chinese scientists has come a step closer.

The team used and programmed the patient’s own peripheral blood mononuclear cells, Yin said, which were then transformed into “seed cells” and reconstituted pancreatic islet tissue in an artificial environment.

While preclinical data from Kieffer’s team supports the use of stem cell-derived islets for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, the report by Yin and colleagues is, to Kieffer’s knowledge, “the first evidence in humans”.

Yin said the breakthrough was another step forward in the relatively new field of regenerative medicine – where the body’s own regenerative capabilities are harnessed to treat illness.

“Our technology has matured and it has pushed boundaries in the field of regenerative medicine for the treatment of diabetes.”

Globally, China has the highest number of people with diabetes. According to the International Diabetes Federation, there are 140 million people with diabetes in the country. Of those, about 40 million depend on lifelong insulin injections.

China’s diabetic population is disproportionately high, according to Huang Yanzhong, a senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations.

In an article last year, he pointed out that while China accounted for 17.7 per cent of the world’s population, the country’s diabetic population made up a staggering quarter of the global total, placing a huge health burden on the government.

If this approach for cell therapy ultimately works, Kieffer said, “it can free patients from the burden of chronic medications, improve health and quality of life, and reduce healthcare expenditures”.

But to get there, he added, studies in more patients based on the findings of this Chinese study were needed.
