Some people believe we all eat for the same reason. This idea is extremely blind to reality. Most people have very specific diet guideline's that they follow; while others live carelessly filling themselves with just anything. But what about eating because your depressed? This very common habit is generally when eating becomes the only or main strategy a person uses to manage emotions. "If you eat when you are not hungry, chances are your body does not need the calories," says Jakubczak. "If this happens too often, the extra calories get stored as fat, and too much fat storage can cause one to be overweight, which may present some health risks." Over 75% of eating comes from emotion, so being in touch with yourself allows you to keep track of your eating patterns. This can be a useful technique if you find yourself binge eating. Jakubczak went on to say, "Keeping a food record and ranking your hunger from 1-10 each time you put something in your mouth will bring to light 'if' and 'when' you are eating for reasons other than hunger." The main idea is noticing that your eating habits are out of emotion or hunger. If your eating out if depression try eating other comfort foods that aren't unhealthy. For example instead of eating a bag of Cheetos , try substituting them for fresh carrots.
Live longer, Be healthy
