July 27/New York/My Health News Daily -- Thinking about your health before picking a food may make you more likely to make a healthy choice even if you do not think it is tasty, a new study shows.
Researchers from the California Institute of Technology conducted a brain-imaging experiment with 33 adult participants who had fasted for at least three hours. While lying in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) machine, each participant was shown images of 180 different food items, varying from chips and candy bars to apples and broccoli.
