Instagrammers, beware! Looking at too many pictures of food can make eating less enjoyable, finds new research from Brigham Young University.
Overexposure to food porn could leave you with sensory boredom, says study author, Ryan Elder, Ph.D. When you’re salivating over that burger your buddy just uploaded, the regions of your brain that process taste are firing, too. You’re subconsciously simulating what the food would taste like, which makes your next actual meal taste less exciting, Elder says.
If you’ve planned a big dinner, avoid gawking at food photos beforehand to savor the flavors later.
