Why can you endlessly consume chips, but quickly get tired of carrots? Why do you reach for comfort food when you feel stressed or sad? And why is it so hard to resist that tempting chocolate bar at the supermarket? The answers lie in your upper chamber: our brains determine our eating behavior. But did you know that you can also influence your brain with your eating behavior? From how motivated you feel to how well you can control your impulses.
In Why We Always Finish a Bag of Chips at Once, professor Esther Aarts reveals the complex relationship between your diet and your brain. She does so by using the latest insights from neuroscience and with great enthusiasm for everything that happens in our brains. A book packed with practical tips for incorporating healthier eating patterns into your daily life.
