Unmasking black pepper's secrets as a fat fighter - click here for latest scientific research!
I love it when I come across information like this that suggests how eating certain foods can help us become healthier. For someone like myself, who enjoys eating, knowing more of the healthy benefits of these foods gives me even more pleasure when I eat them!
We know that our tongue is designed to experience the main flavours of sweet, sour, salty and bitter and many cultures go to great lengths to make sure that these tastes are satisfied within a meal. I usually notice how satisfied I feel after eating meals that contain a variety of added flavours from herbs and spices and how unsatisfied I feel after eating a bland and uninteresting meal.
I wonder if we are becoming more and more unbalanced (over-heavy) in our bodies as we become unbalanced (under-light) in our minds. As the scales tip towards more work and away from rest and play in our lives do we turn to food to "spice up our lives". Is it the food we are craving for when we order our Indian takeaway or is it the spice?
What if, adding black pepper, chilli or spices to our meals we would be more satisfied by the taste of the food and in turn not feel the need to eat more?
What if, adding these condiments to our meals could strengthen our metabolism and help us to burn fat more easily?
What if ,we thought about where we could find more balance in our lives to create a more comfortable balance in ourselves?
Would we be more satisfied if we enhanced our lives by adding a bit more spice to it?

I think you are absolutely right. Spices seem to fool the brain into feeling more satisfied with the meal! Neil
