The Psychology of Eating

Join us for a unique event in which we take you through a journey of Understanding the science and psychology behind eating!

Through this practical workshop and talk, we shall explore the following:

1. How Taste Works: from the Tongue to the Brain.

2. Why Some Foods Feel So Good.

3. Tasty vs Healthy: Why We Crave Unhealthy Foods

4. More Than Just Taste- Wellbeing and social connection – What role does food play in our well- being and connection?

5. Responsible pleasure and mindful eating.

For the first 30 minutes, we will delve into these questions, with our guest Dr. Bhuvan- a sensory experience backed by Scientific research.

Dr. Bhuvan will use Food samples (for sensory pleasure and experience) – small pieces of sweet, sour, and bitter foods to experience brain reactions firsthand and show you how taste signals travel from tongue to brain by using visuals / brain scans.

We will then have a vegetarian dinner and continue the conversation through te evening.
