Why Do We Always Have Room for Dessert?

Why Do We Always Have Room for Dessert? 🍰🍫

Ever feel too full for more food but still crave dessert? Blame sensory-specific satiety—your interest in one flavor fades, but new flavors (like sweet dessert) spark your appetite.

🔬 The Science:
Sweet treats trigger dopamine, the brain’s reward chemical, making them irresistible.
This evolved to ensure a diverse diet but now leads to overeating.

🍓 Healthier Habits:
Choose naturally sweet options like fruit.
Keep healthy, varied snacks on hand.
Enjoy desserts in moderation for balance.

Satisfy cravings, but stay mindful! 💚
