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:

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