Everyone counts calories. But what about the consumption of emotions?
We pay close attention to the labels on supermarket shelves. Protein content, sugar amount, calorie count. But there's one thing we never ask: what happens inside me when I eat this food?
Foods affect not only our physical but also our emotional system. Some foods trigger anxiety, while others increase dopamine secretion, providing short-term happiness. But do you know what kind of emotional hunger these fluctuations ultimately lead us to?
Recent research shows that refined carbohydrates, in particular, create a short-term sense of relief, but can worsen mood in the long run.
We count calories. But what do we feed our anxiety with? Without forgetting that food affects not only our stomach but also our soul, menus should now include not only taste but also feeling.
As I say, "What we eat shapes not only our bodies but also our day."
