Daily Aha! w/ Dr. Oz

A series of experiments published in Psychological Science suggests that when we perform precise rituals before we eat, we enjoy our food more. That can means saying a prayer of thanks or going through your own special way of methodically unwrapping a bar of chocolate. If you do the same thing each time—and especially if you wait a bit before you tuck in—you’ll get maximum satisfaction from each morsel.
