Daniel Fabricant, PhD, president and CEO of NPA, sent a letter to the IRS advocating for a revision to IRS Publication 502. “Currently, IRS rules prohibit consumers from using HSA, FSA or HRA dollars…

How can we use sensory-specific satiety to our advantage? When we eat the same foods over and over, we become habituated to them and end up liking them less. That’s why the “10th bite of chocolate, for example, is desired less than the first bite.” We have a built-in biological drive to keep changing up our foods so we’ll be more likely to hit all our nutritional requirements. The drive is so powerful that even “imagined consumption reduces actual consumption.” When study participants imagined again and again that they were eating cheese and were then given actual cheese, they ate…
