Most people do not think much about the brain, and do not consider how much it influences our day to day choices. For instance, did you know that just walking by the dessert section in the CheeseCake Factory throws your brain into a tizzy - so much so that you're compelled to have that Strawberry Delight by the end of your meal?
Just catching sight of food—looking, catching the aroma, without even eating—sends your brain spinning. You know what I mean... especially if your neighbor's barbecuing right now... Scientists report that just a glimpse of food in magazines or as you walk by folks eating at outdoor restaurant tables, stimulates the part of your brain, which increases levels of dopamine, a neurotransmitter involved in pleasure and reward. And these link closely to your increasing desire to have that food delight.Knowing how your brain reacts to food helps you develop tactics. For openers, if you really want to keep your waistline trim and eradicate belly fat, you'd avoid magazines with glossy food images or strolling past restaurants with outside tables.
And, that's just one small tidbit in the vast expanse of recent research on the brain as it affects you daily. Insights about how your brain works enhance your personal development!
