🧠 Mind over Milkshake🍨
It may sound woo-woo to say that your thoughts & beliefs can impact your body.
In this study we see that:
•The way food is labeled— “indulgent, decadent, and rich” or “healthy, nutritious, and fat- free”—strongly influences our beliefs/thoughts And those mental cues can even prime the body to metabolize a meal differently.
•If our thoughts & beliefs about the food we are consuming can impact our digestion- what else is impacted by negative self-talk or limited self beliefs?
•The usual metabolic model — calories in and calories out — may need some rethinking, because it doesn’t account for how our beliefs about our food may impact our physiology.
I found this study so fascinating 🧐 and would love to hear your thoughts below 👇🏻
