An Aromatic Life #4: How Smelling Influences Eating
In this episode, Frauke discusses the role your sense of smell plays in enjoying food - not only while you're eating, but even when you're preparing it. Frauke explains how we smell two ways, why our perceptions of smells are so different depending on how we smell our food, and she reveals an interesting insight about why humans are so unique in terms of smelling (it involves a bone, speech and choking - can you guess?). Learn how our brain perceives food aromas depending on where it's from, what shapes our enjoyment of food, and why it even matters. The episode also includes a few fun exercises to try out. At the end, as always, Frauke will reflect on the learning and provides guidance on how to apply it in your everyday life, including some cooking tips to enhance your eating experience.
In this episode, Frauke discusses why no two people perceive smells the same way, and how it's possible for a person to love the smell of cow manure and hate the smell of roses. Frauke explains why we're all on our own personal smell journey, and she reveals where that journey begins (you might be surprised!). Learn why it is that not all smells are universally loved, what shapes our scent preferences, and why it even matters. At the end, as always, Frauke will reflect on the learning and provides guidance on how to apply it in your everyday life.
