HEALTH - A Trick to Eat Less!

 Is there a way to stop snacking? Yes, there is, as researchers have found a perfect trick that can us stop snacking, in no time, without being noticed!


In particular, in a study made at the University of Northern California (in Los Angeles, USA), participants were given pop corn while watching a movie, using the hand they were told (left for right-handed, right for left-handed).

Those who used the non-dominant hand (left for right-handed and right to left-handed) ate 30% less than others!


According to the researcher David Neal (Ph. D.), "This change disrupts the unconscious pattern that connects the hand to the mouth.  Therefore, we slow down eating and realize that this food does not do us good."
