we can “trick” our taste buds. Do you think there are other things we do to “trick” our nervous system?(Hint: Have you ever had a headache? What did you do?)
Yes, there are definitely other ways we can trick our nervous system. For example, when we have a headache, we might try various methods to alleviate the pain, such as taking pain medication, practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation, applying a cold or warm compress to the affected area, or getting a massage. These actions can help to distract or soothe the nervous system and provide relief from discomfort. Additionally, techniques like mindfulness or cognitive-behavioral therapy can also help to rewire the brain and change how we perceive and respond to pain.
