吃货担心过年长膘？试试瘦身香水
How PERFUME can help you shed pounds
As the battle against the post-festive bulge rages on, many of us are seeking out any extra help we can get with New Year's resolutions to lose weight.
抗击节后肥胖的战争已然打响,不少人都在寻求助力以实现成功减重的新年决心.
But can a fragrance really help to curb your appetite and speed you towards your weight loss goals?
但香水真能帮你抑制食欲、尽快完成减重目标吗？
Prends Moi by Velds is the UK's first fragrance to aid weight loss and promises to induce the release of B-endorphins in the skin - triggering a sense of wellbeing, thus reducing the urge to overeat.
苇芝（Velds）的"带我走"（Prends Moi）是英国首款瘦身香水.它能刺激皮肤层生成β-内啡肽,使人产生幸福感,从而抑制过剩食欲.
Costing £15, its makers claim the fragrance is designed to 'slim with pleasure' and is based on 'aromatherapeutic' and 'neurocosmetic' research.
"带我走"的单价为15英镑.制造商称该香水以"愉悦享瘦"为设计理念,是芳香疗法和神经美容学研究的结晶.
Developed by the French perfume house Robertet, its zesty scent comes from a blend of bergamot, mandarin, lilac and ylang ylang.
它由法国香水屋罗贝泰（Robertet）研发,混合了佛手柑、柑橘、丁香和依兰的气息,能给人带来无限活力.
It also contains active ingredients including Betaphroline, a wild indigo seed extract, which when it comes in to contact with keratinocytes (cells found in the outer layer of the skin) will induce the release of B-endorphins present.
"带我走"还富含各类活性成分,譬如靛蓝种子的提取物贝塔洛林（Betaphroline）.在接触角化细胞（皮肤的表层细胞）后,该提取物能刺激皮肤层生成β-内啡肽.
This sends a 'pleasure message' to the brain and the resulting sensation of wellbeing and increased feeling of contentment will supposedly stop you reaching for the biscuit tin to get a feelgood fix.
