"When I smell food, I gain weight," says some, but usually the idea that one smells the odor of his favorite food increases body weight. But we have amazing news!

Scientists have proven that what has ridiculed some in the past is now a concrete fact reached by scientific research.

In a report published by the Russian site "FPR", writer Zakharova Layaly to a new study conducted at the University of California at Berkeley, which proves that the smell of food increases body weight.

A person who fears gaining weight should "constantly close his nose" after a recent study proves that one's weight can be significantly increased even by smelling food, otherwise you won't be able to lose weight even under a strict diet, the writer said.

Moreover, old studies have shown that people who love to eat and overdo it use not only taste buds, but also many other senses. For example, sense of smell and vision play a key role in nutrition, where the sense of sight to recognize the appetite of the dish before the individual, while the sense of smell to perceive the smell of food and the degree of self.

Scientific studies
According to recent studies at the University of California at Berkeley, the sense of smell helps to increase body weight, as the smell of delicious food affect the metabolism and slow down, which makes the human body absorbs more fat.

To understand how food odor affects a person's weight gain, a study was conducted in mice. During the study, mice were continuously monitored, and all changes in the body, including weight change, were monitored and divided into groups. The first group included mice that were obese, while the second group included normal-weight mice.

For the experiment, the brain cells of obese mice were destroyed, so they could not smell food. As a result, scientists concluded that at the end of the experiment this group lost its excess weight and became thin.

Moreover, this group did not eat because of its smell and delicious taste, but to provide the necessary calories for its bodies. The second group, whose cells were not destroyed and touched by their sense of smell, gained weight and began to become obese.

Scientists have come to the conclusion that the smell of food slows down the metabolism, forcing the body not to burn the calories it receives, and stored instead.

In this context, experts believe that these experiments should be continued, and another similar procedure on them in order to ascertain whether the sense of smell really helps people lose excess weight.

If the theory is confirmed after the human experiment, the relationship between metabolic control and odor perception can lead to the development and production of new drugs that allow a person to lose weight easily without harming health. In addition, similar trials aimed at fighting obesity in the future will help fight anorexia.
