Food

There’s a real psychological reason why some people love spicy foods

We all probably know someone (often ourselves) who loves spicy foods. Everything they eat either comes with hot sauce or is smothered in chilies. 

For people who don’t eat this way, the practice can seem a little strange. Why would you deliberately eat foods that cause pain? 

Interestingly, it’s not just because of how chilies taste. In fact, most are too spicy for the majority of people to detect the flavour accurately anyway. Instead, it’s all to do with endorphins, chemicals that the brain releases.

My abortion story

When my second baby boy James turned 6 years old a couple of weeks ago, in a social media post, I wrote about the difficulties I had conceiving and carrying him. I also wrote that he was my fifth pregnancy. He wasn’t. He was my sixth. You see, the first time I ever found myself pregnant was when I was 23 years old, before the pregnancy I lost prior to my first boy, Georgie, and after the two miscarriages I had before James. That first pregnancy ended with an abortion.
