Marvin Tschiegg | | Food fills the belly and nourishes the body, but why is it such a source of pleasure? Pleasure associated with food is all in your head.
A study Conducted by Researchers at Yale University School of Medicine, identified the brain hormone ghrelin as the cause of the joyous feeling produced by eating appetizing foods. In tests of lab mice, researchers found that ghrelin acts on the same brain receptors responsible for producing pleasure from sexual activity. Stimulating ghrelin production was also found to increase the amount of food consumed. Results of the study were published in a recent issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
One must also remember the surroundings one grows up in effects food consumption as well as emotions and stress. Determining when we eat for pleasure or as a result of these other factors is what can make or break a weight program or healthy life style.
