Enjoying food leads to obesity

Eating for pleasure is much more likely to lead to overeating than eating to satisfy hunger. These are the conclusions reached by Italian experts.You only have to swallow one piece of delicious chocolate cake, and you are already thinking about how to eat another one, followed by a second one, etc. Getting pleasure from food breeds gluttony and promotes overeating.Why do we enjoy eating?Scientists from Naples and Salerno have found that when enjoying food (hedonic nutrition), a person activates special body centers in such a way that they continue to send signals to the brain even when hunger has already receded.To come to this conclusion, the research team recruited 8 people between the ages of 21 and 33. The hungry volunteers were given their favorite dishes and less delicious dishes to eat alternately. At the same time, the energy value (caloric content) of the dishes was approximately the same. During the study, the researchers periodically measured the patients' levels of ghrelin and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol.Ghrelin is a hormone that stimulates hunger. Its level rises before eating and decreases after eating. 2-arachidonoylglycerin (2-AG) is an endogenous neurotransmitter that activates the same receptors in the brain as marijuana.2-AG does not arouse your appetite because you are actually hungry. It triggers the brain's reward system (stimulates pleasure centers) that make you enjoy eating.The researchers found that ghrelin and 2-AG levels in the volunteers increased depending on the taste of a particular food. Thus, it was concluded that mouth-watering dishes activate the chemical processes of pleasure centers, which eventually turn out to be stronger than satiety signals. In the end, this leads to overeating and, as a result, to an increase in excess body weight.Is it worth giving up treats?Scientists insist that these are only preliminary results of the study and they require more thorough verification. At the same time, we can already say that the satiety signals sent by the body do not always correspond to the degree of fullness of our stomach. And in such an important matter as eating, you need to rely not on feelings and emotions, but on a sober calculation.The reasons why you overeat can be very different, so do not rush to exclude treats from your diet. As other studies show, they are an excellent remedy for stress. Allow yourself to eat a piece of pie at breakfast, and you'll be in a good mood for the day ahead. Just try to concentrate on what you eat and carefully control the amount you eat. Watch USA online porn https://mat6tube.com teens, milfs, matures!
