A headband that helps you lose weight while you sit down and relax sounds too good to be true. But Neurovalens is about to launch a product that claims to do just that.

The health tech firm has developed Modius, a band that stimulates part of your brain that controls fat storage and metabolism, helping boost the latter while decreasing your appetite.

The end result, backed up by clinical research, is weight loss with little effort on your part – although it’s better to adopt a healthy diet and exercise regime too. The band is now available for preorder on Indiegogo.
