Dear Deepti,
ITS TRUE...not joking...Seriously..
It is a recent study at the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago.
It shows that any pleasant scent, even those from candles and oils, can suppress appetite. Alan Hirsch, M.D., neurological director at the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, says many of his studies show that aroma can play a role in weight loss.
He Says ..
* Sniff your food before you eat it, and chew thoroughly. This helps release odor molecules, which fools the brain into thinking you're full.
* Eat your food hot; this also releases odor molecules.
* Make your own sprinkles using noncaloric, sodium-free spices such as chili powder. Theoretically, these should have the same effect, Hirsch says.
* Utilize aromatherapy. Other studies have shown that inhaling green-apple and peppermint scents suppresses hunger.
In the experiment on 3,193 people (84 percent of them women), participants were told to sniff green apple, banana or peppermint scents.Result was 5-pound weight loss per month -30 pounds during the six-month study.
What an easy method... :woohoo:

Fact 2
The Mona Lisa has no eyebrows. It was the fashion in Renaissance Florence to shave them off!

Other aspect of the coin :-
In 2007, French engineer Pascal Cotte claimed that his ultra high resolution scans of the painting provide evidence that Mona Lisa was originally painted with eyelashes and eyebrows, but that these had gradually disappeared over time, perhaps as a result of overcleaning.

I agree Mohammed Fouzen. making any place pleasant, running music and sweel smell all help study better and work better. The Delhi Lotteries organization of Khurana- had flower pots in the building and light music running so that employees were glued to their seats and worked cheerfully and efficiently. It is seen that buffaloes give more milk when listening music.
