Researchers at the University of Portsmouth in the U.K. are looking to recruit volunteers for a trial that will test hypoxia - a state where the body does not receive sufficient amounts of oxygen - as an intervention for Type 2 diabetes press release from the university announced.

Multiple studies have shown that hypoxia improves blood sugar levels and aids in weight loss. Although scientists do not fully understand how this works, it is suggested that hypoxia burns more calories in the body, resulting in lower appetites in individuals. With a lesser intake and more expenditure of stored energy, individuals have been seen to lose weight when sleeping in reduced oxygen environments.
