Now, perfume that can help you lose weight!
The latest slimming aid
comes in the form of a perfume bottle, and it already has a waiting list of
6000 people.
Prends–moi is the
world’s first slimming fragrance from Velds that has been developed at the
French perfume house Robertet, the Daily Mail reported
Makers have claimed
that the fragrance is designed to “slim with pleasure” and is based on
“aromatherapeutic” and “neurocosmetic” research.
The perfume contained
ingredients that release B-endorphins that are present in the skin and a
“pleasure message” is transmitted through the brain triggering a sensation of
well being and an increase in contentment reducing the need to overeact.
A “Slimming Complex”
that has been formulated with caffeine, carnitine and spirulina extract
activated the two key enzymes directly involved in lipolysis (fat degradation).
A trial study by BIO-EC
of women aged form 18 to 70 years of age, who were not on a diet, found that 75
percent felt that the perfume limited the need to snack and 73% felt a feeling
of pleasure.
People can generously
spritz in the morning, as they would do with any perfume, and throughout the
day whenever the need for snacking arises.
Further results can be
achieved by very lightly massaging the perfume into targeted areas, morning and
night to help sculpt and slim the contours of the body.
As for the smell of the
perfume, there are top notes, with lively accents of bergamot, mandarin and
grapefruit.
With a low alcohol
content, the perfume is perfect for those who love summer all year long.

Men with short ring fingers may survive prostate
cancer
Tests showed that cancer victims responded better to an anti-tumour drug if their ring finger was shorter than the index finger - the finger next to the thumb.
Testosterone
is a hormone that is known to help prostate tumours grow.
Doctors
who tested the theory on 142 volunteers found those with
short ring fingers responded better to dutasteride, a drug that fights cancer
by blocking the effects of testosterone on the prostate. Numerous studies show
finger length is linked to the risks of conditions ranging from heart
disease and osteoarthritis to depression and Motor Neurone Disease.
The
difference between the two fingers is determined by exposure to testosterone
while a baby is still in the womb.
According
to research, this can have a profound effect on health later in life.
The
risks increase with age, with men over 50 more likely to develop a tumour, and
there is a strong genetic element to it.
However,
the latest findings by experts at Seoul National University in South Korea
suggest that doctors might soon be able to predict who will respond best to
treatment by measuring men's fingers.
Although the men in the study did not have cancer, they did have enlarged prostates or benign prostatic hyperplasia - a common condition in men over 50 where the prostate grows and blocks the flow of urine. Dutasteride has been used for several years to treat BPH and prostate cancer. The volunteers took the drug every day for six months.

When
their prostate glands were measured to see if they had shrunk, there was a
much bigger reduction in men with short ring fingers.
"These
results suggest finger length might predict the response to dutasteride
treatment," the Daily Mail quoted the researchers as writing in the
report.
The
study has been published in the British Journal of Urology.
