Histamine in Foods (list) This week I had the pleasure of meeting Barcelona-based nutritionist Adriana Duelo.

The 36 Questions That Lead to Love In Mandy Len Catron’s Modern Love essay, “To Fall in Love With Anyone, Do This,” she refers to a study by the psychologist Arthur Aron (and others) that explores whether intimacy between two strangers can be accelerated by having them ask each other a specific series of personal questions. The 36 questions in the study are broken up into three sets, with each set intended to be more probing than the previous one. The idea is that mutual vulnerability fosters closeness. To quote the study’s authors, “One key pattern associated with the development of a close relationship among peers is sustained, escalating, reciprocal, personal self-disclosure.” Allowing oneself to be vulnerable with another person can be exceedingly difficult, so this exercise forces the issue.

Your gut is directly connected to your brain, by a newly discovered neuron circuit The human gut is lined with more than 100 million nerve cells—it’s practically a brain unto itself. And indeed, the gut actually talks to the brain, releasing hormones into the bloodstream that, over the course of about 10 minutes, tell us how hungry it is, or that we shouldn’t have eaten an entire pizza. But a new study reveals the gut has a much more direct connection to the brain through a neural circuit that allows it to transmit signals in mere seconds. The findings could lead to new treatments for obesity, eating disorders, and even depression and autism—all of which have been linked to a malfunctioning gut.

How to practice emotional first aid - Guy Winch The difference between mental health and emotional health is that mental health is about diagnosable conditions such as anxiety disorders, clinical depression, attention deficit, schizophrenia, and others. Emotional health is about the non-diagnosable stuff – the kind of emotionally distressing experiences we all go through at some point in our lives, such as loneliness, low self-esteem, grief, guilt, rejection, failure, heartbreak and others. By learning how we’re affected by these kinds of emotional wounds and knowing which science-based techniques we could use to treat them we can develop our own personal ‘medicine cabinet’ for emotional wounds.
