Could Smelling Of Food Lead To Weight Gain? by SabiKing(m): 2:28pm On Jul 08, 2017
Researchers have uncovered a link between sense of smell and fat burning.A team of researchers has recently made a surprising discovery: mice that cannot smell their food do not gain weight. A new study explores some of the reasons behind this.

Researchers led by Andrew Dillin, a professor of molecular and cell biology at the University of California, Berkeley, were surprised to discover that mice lacking a sense of smell do not gain weight, despite being fed a high-fat diet.

The results of the new study were published in the journal Cell Metabolism, and the findings point to an unexplored link between olfactory neurons and weight gain.As the authors of the research explain, it is known that our sense of smell, together with the olfactory input from the environment, help us to select and appreciate food. The sense of smell and that of taste are heightened before a meal, and they tend to decline immediately afterward.


Also, results of a new study published by JAMA Cardiology add to the evidence of an association between higher body mass index (BMI) and increased risk of cardiometabolic diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes.
