David Robson Science writer and author |
| HOW YOUR MINDSET SHAPES YOUR HEALTH, HAPPINESS AND LONGEVITY |
Did you know that your overall expectations of your fitness can influence your risk of an actual heart attack? That labels for diet foods can make you hungrier than if you had eaten nothing at all? Or that people who associate aging with personal growth live for seven years longer than those who associate it with frailty and disability? Drawing on a pioneering new theory of the brain, David Robson will explain the power of your mindset to influence your health, fitness, happiness and longevity. |

Giles Yeo
Principal Research Associate University of Cambridge |
| A calorie is a calorie, so they say. It shouldn’t matter whether it comes from steak, a carrot or a doughnut. Except it does, as metabolic researcher Giles Yeo will explain.
Our body works harder to extract calories from some food compared to others, which is why calories don’t always count. It all adds up to an important insight: we eat food, not calories. |
