With rising awareness about fitness, people across the world are watching their diet in order to check their weight. But while exercise and eating healthy are largely endorsed as weight loss measures, experts keep coming up with new solutions.
Nose plugs are being recommended as the latest and highly effective way of curbing obesity. The idea is to block the sense of smell in order to help people on a diet lose more weight.
These plugs are inserted in both nostrils as air is directed to bypass scent receptors which helps suppress appetite. Overweight people are more sensitive to food smells and higher stimulation of appetite.
