A new study suggests you can effectively rewire your brain so that it craves healthier foods.
The pilot study, published in the journal Nutrition & Diabetes, scientists say that changing your eating behavior can change how your brain reacts to high-calorie and low-calorie foods.
For example, people with a heart-healthy, portion-controlled diet have a better chance of sticking to that plan simply because that's what they're used to eating.
Health experts suggest filling your diet with super foods such as broccoli.
'Sleep drunkenness' may explain it
If you feel like you have an especially hard time getting your brain to work in the morning, you're not alone. A new study shows about one in every seven people suffers from "sleep drunkenness."
It happens when a person wakes up and remains in a confused state for a certain period of time. Experts say it takes about 15 minutes to clear your brain of the "cobwebs."
Low birth weight linked to diabetes
It looks like babies born at a low birth weight are at a greater risk for Type 2 diabetes.
Researchers at Boston University found that girls born at 5 1/2 pounds or less were 13 percent more likely to have type 2 diabetes later in life.
Basically, the younger the baby is when born at a low weight, the greater the risk, the study found.
Experts say it's helpful to educate children on a healthy lifestyle.
