If  in the angry condition, what you want gusto? It must be rare among us who choose fruits or vegetables and tend to prefer macaroni and cheese, fries, cakes, chocolate, and various other fat-rich snacks. Why?

“When we eat foods high in carbohydrates in sugar or fatty foods, such as various kinds of cake, then our bodies release a chemical called dopamine. This stimulates the pleasure centers of the brain so you want to repeat the sensation of the food, again and again.

“And if it does not touch the carb, you may want a food that contains sugar and fat. Consumption of foods rich in fat and excessive sugar will increase the chemical substances in the brain associated with pleasure and euphoria.

On the other hand, there are reasons why you so want a certain food when stricken with emotion. Food is associated with your memories as a child. Really?

“Something wonderful happens when you eat certain foods, and want to emulate the happy moments first. When you’re angry as a child, you give your mother a bowl of ice cream, lasagna or chocolate to calm you. So, when an adult, you want to do similar things to feel better.

Nevertheless, it does not mean you can not stop the emotional eating patterns. “The key is to decide the relationship between food and mood. Learn to identify the foods as you eat for reasons that have nothing to do with the stomach. We have to get used to derive pleasure from other things, such as sport and friendship. “
