<p>For many people, enjoying music results in noticeable physical reactions – sweaty palms or a shiver down the spine. Music can cause the release of dopamine in your body, which provides a feeling of immense pleasure and reward.</p>
<p>But this sensation is not shared by all. As Nikki Rickard explains, there are people – referred to as “music anhedonics” – for who there is no physical response to music. For them, music is simply not enjoyable.</p>

<p>There are claims that cooking destroys nutrients and enzymes found in food, and that eating raw, uncooked foods must be better for you.</p>
<p>But it’s not that simple and, as Tim Crowe explains, a pure raw-food diet could actually limit your intake of nutrients.</p>

And despite its lower energy and time commitment, HIT workouts are actually quite good at improving our aerobic fitness. </p>
<p>So how do they stack up against more traditional exercise regimes? We find out in this week’s episode of TCTV.</p>
