Startling Ways Food Affects Your Brain and Body & Mastering the Art of Apologizing

“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.

Rachel is the author of the book, Why You Eat What You Eat: The Science Behind Our Relationship with Food (https://amzn.to/3yqfKkW).

Once you hear her advice you will become a champion at saying “I’m sorry.”
