Startling Ways Food Affects Your Brain a...

About this episode

“Sometimes you need a good cry.” How many times have you heard that advice? So what does the science say? This episode begins by looking at whether crying is really good for you - or if that is just something people say. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1467-8721.2008.00614.x

The food you eat affects you in some interesting and unusual ways. For example, eating something sweet can actually make you a sweeter person - for a while. If you eat something you think is fat, your body will rev itself up to burn more calories just because you think that. Neuroscientist Rachel Herz, who teaches at Brown University and Boston College explains these and other fascinating ways food affects you. Rachel is the author of the book, Why You Eat What You Eat: The Science Behind Our Relationship with Food (https://amzn.to/3yqfKkW). 

Since none of us are perfect, we all have to apologize to people when we make mistakes or say the wrong thing. Yet as simple as it sounds, apologies often go wrong. In fact, they can sometimes make things worse! An effective apology is all in how you deliver it. Listen as I discuss this with Harriet Lerner a psychotherapist and author of the book, Why Won’t You Apologize?: Healing Big Betrayals and Everyday Hurts (https://amzn.to/2VuFgaf). Once you hear her advice you will become a champion at saying “I’m sorry.”

Why do mosquitoes bite? After all they don’t live on blood - it isn’t food to them. So what do they need it for? Listen as I take you inside the life of these annoying summertime pests. https://www.mosquitoes.org/
