You may think your love or hate of certain  healthy foods is hard-wired in your taste buds, but it turns out a lot of our tastes for foods can be learned and relearned-even as adults.

In addition to our taste-buds, there are many factors that impact flavor.

Our guest, the Editorial Director of Eating Well magazine offers 8 Ways to Use Mind-Over-Menu Tricks to eat healthier including: 

Amp up scent: New research shows when we experience a strong aroma served with food (think a strong coffee with a piece of pie) we take smaller bites.

Light a vanilla candle at dessert or serve espresso to cut down on intake.
