People who "get fat just by smelling the air" should eat a lot of black pepper.
Many people complain about their body condition of getting fat no matter what they eat and think this is something that cannot be changed.
However, a recent study has suggested that increased use of black pepper can help lose weight very effectively. According to an Indian study, using black pepper in the form of an extract for 6 weeks can help reduce body weight. The bones of laboratory animals that used black pepper were also stronger than those that only ate normal fat.

In a separate study by Imperial College London (UK), scientists discovered changes in genes that cause obesity, and suggested that obesity is not necessarily caused by overeating. Currently, there are a number of drugs used to treat obesity, but scientists are still unclear which gene changes can cause this condition. Research by Imperial College London on overweight children in Pakistan showed that genes that cause obesity account for about 30% of cases.
Worldwide, obesity rates have doubled since 1980. The United States has the highest obesity rate among developed countries. Meanwhile, the United Kingdom has the highest obesity rate in Europe, with one-third of children under 15 being overweight.
