Lose weight with the smell..

Smell the aroma of the food we put in appetite, there's no doubt. The smell of good bread cooked a spaghetti sauce simmering, that cookies out of the oven ... Irresistible!

But new studies have shown that many feel food before eating lead more quickly to the brain a feeling of satiety. Result: more food you feel, the less you need to eat in large quantities to be satisfied. It is therefore preferable to eat hot food, when their flavors are at their peak. This works much the same way as when chewing food more to enjoy the flavor and texture. Again, eat slowly, be focused on what you eat satisfies more.

Certain smells make fruit diet

Dr. Alan Hirsch, director of the Foundation for Research and treatment of smell and taste (Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation), which specializes in the study of the impact of odors on the brain, has succeeded to demonstrate that the smell of certain fruits, including figs, cranberry, pineapple and strawberry stimulate satiety signals in the brain. In short, when you breathe these foods, you're hungry less time. In the same vein, the Foundation states that breathing the aroma of fishing, you could lose up to 10 kg in a month without any other régime.Trop good to be true?

Spices to unsuspected virtues

Their studies have also shown that the smell of cinnamon, vanilla and clove, would lose weight. Performed on overweight people accused of approximately 30 kg, an experiment showed that when the participants felt the urge to eat, the fact that these spices breathing quieted mind, consoling and evacuated their desire to eat. Interestingly, some Muslims "gorge" odor during Ramadan to less hungry. It seems that it works!

When the smell changes the perception of the size

Another study showed that the foundation odors could also affect people's perception about the size. Dr. Alan Hirsch has assessed the response of 199 men, aged between 12 and 61 years, depending on the smell that emanated a woman of 245 pounds, chosen as a model.

Sprinkling turn this woman different flavors, a floral scent based on lemon, another consists of sweet pea and lily of the valley and a third of a mixture of flowers and spices, psychiatrist and neurologist concluded that last Fragrance meant that the average man in the study perceived the female witness with 4.1 pounds lighter. Those who confessed that they liked the smell actually saw the same woman with 12 pounds lighter! A gold mine for exploring the perfume industry!

Certainly the world is as powerful odors qu'inexploité. But bet it should not take long to know ...
