Scientists have developed a new open-source and dominant-wrist algorithm that can help smartwatches to accurately monitor the calories burned by obese people during different physical activities.

A study from Japan reveals that estrogen produced in the brain — known as neuroestrogen — plays a direct role in controlling appetite. By boosting hunger-regulating receptors and enhancing sensitivity to leptin, this brain-made hormone could pave the way for innovative treatments for obesity and hormone-related weight gain.
