SCIENCE SPOTLIGHT
Can sense of smell impact health and weight?
A recent study showed that mice who’ve lost their sense of smell had a faster metabolism, better fat-burning, and lower obesity than mice with normal noses.
What does this mean?
This study was done on mice, so it’s too early to say whether you should start holding your nose while eating lunch. However, it does suggest that smell isn’t just about enjoying your meal, it can also trigger your body to build up fat stores.
