What are some good methods? Recent research suggests that aromatherapy can also help; the aroma of some foods, such as garlic, can suppress appetite. Why not try this method of using food aromas to suppress appetite? Take some time to smell garlic and try aromatherapy!
Dr. Hersh, founder of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, discovered that the aromas of certain foods can suppress people's appetite. In his study, he had 3,193 overweight individuals aged 18-64 smell some foods, such as bananas, green apples, mint, garlic, and onions, when they were hungry before they ate.
As a result, these people lost an average of 5 pounds per month over a period of 6 months, with those who smelled garlic experiencing more significant weight loss.
Experiments at research institutions such as the Washington Human Sensory Nerve Research Laboratory have also verified Dr. Hersh's theory. Dr. Hersh also specifically mentioned that women are more suited to olfactory therapy than men because they are naturally endowed with a more acute sense of smell.
