Tap Away Food Cravings D
electable morsels are traditionally hard to resist, but psychologists from Griffith University’s School of Medicine, in Austra- lia, show us how we can success- fully reduce food cravings by using a technique they refer to as psychological acupuncture. It in- volves gently tapping on pressure points along the body’s ener- gy meridians using the
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), while focusing on particular emotions and thoughts.
“Participants in the trial were surprised by how quickly the technique works—that it doesn’t take a lot of time to eliminate food cravings they may have had for many years,” notes Peta Stapleton, Ph.D. Food cravings for sweets and salty snacks significantly lessened after just four, two-hour ses- sions, and were confirmed as being maintained at a six-month follow-up consultation.

Cinnamon Extract A
favorite holiday spice might soon be recog- nized as a natural medicine. An investigative study led by a U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) chemist suggests that a water soluble extract of natural cinnamon, which contains antioxidant compounds, could help reduce risk fac- tors associated with diabetes and heart disease. More research is needed.
