This video game will help you stay away from junk food

The one of its kind application is devised in a way to curb your cravings even when tempting aromas assail your nostrils.

Many diet plans fall flat as soon the dieter encounters the fragrance of tasty food. 

But the app makers from Drexel University have claimed that the video game is capable of controlling that part of the brain where these food cravings originate.

The game is designed to make you perform a particular task, involving inhibitory control, again and again, which helps to control the desire to eat junk.

Research is also underway to take the technology to the next level and design a computer game or a mobile application to help people stick to their diet plan, the University was quoted as saying by a newsX report.
