06/02/20 • 47 min

Back to nutrition and weight loss thankfully - coronavirus is on the backburner for the moment.

Today we cover the myth of moderation - was it Buddha who said "everything in moderation" or was it the ancient Greeks? Maybe it's in the Bible. Or was it the Coca Cola company? Regardless of who it was, it's a con.

And it's particularly a con when it comes to that toxic white substance known as sugar.

Also today, the psychology of hunger- is it hunger you feel or the desire to taste a flavour?

SSS2 ep5 - Corona Virus - avoiding the ventilator.

This episode looks at simple, home based interventions that might help you avoid severe illness if and when you contract the corona virus. Science based, although as yet not investigated with trials, they are easy and relatively harmless, so I am certainly giving them a go. The common thread is that they influence the immune system, and will make you healthier and happier in general, even if you dont get Corona. For more info have a look at the Soothing Science website.

SSS2 episode 7 - Emotional eating, plant protein and the myth of variety.

Have you ever thought that you were full until someone offered you some chocolate or icecream? "Of course I'm not full", you said, "I have a separate stomach for dessert!". Well, turns out this is partially true - this episode talks about sensory specific satiety - our tendency to be able to eat more if there is a variety of food on offer.

This is one of the reasons that variety is not always helpful...
