Can Dogs Teach Us A Thing Or Two About Self-Control And Keeping To A Healthy Diet?

You decide.

Does this sound familiar: you skip lunch, then later on, find yourself gobbling a lot more cookies or pieces of cake than you know you need, but somehow find it very hard to stop: and then spend the rest of the day beating yourself up about your lack of self-control and inability to maintain a healthy diet?

Well, by studying the effect of low blood sugar on self-control in dogs, a researcher at the University of Kentucky (UK) has come up with a possible explanation: the brain needs glucose to exercise self-control, and knowing this could help us make healthier choices in our diets.

Good luck.
