5 tips vs food addiction

• April 19, 2024

When you eat, do you feel satisfied, but do you have the need to continue eating food? Perhaps, you have food addiction, a condition that is detonated when there are high levels of stress or anxiety.

According to the portal Prevention.com When people are in a very high state of tension, they usually eat foods rich in calories and carbohydrates to feel a bit of relief and pleasure, but later they have feelings of guilt, sadness and depression.

To avoid addiction to food and indulge in sweet and fat-filled cravings, you just have to follow these simple steps:

1. Accept it: Researchers of the Yale University they assure that overweight or obese people have some degree of food addiction, so it is important to detect it in time and act immediately.

2. Fast energy: When the brain has low energy or has a high level of stress looking for foods that increase their energy level quickly, so ask our body to eat foods rich in fat, sugar and carbohydrates. It is best to eat foods that will help satisfy hunger or cravings for a long period such as avocado, olive oil and fish.
3. Reward yourself: When a person is addicted to food, insulin levels increase and stimulate people to eat more food. When this happens, try to change the junk food for something natural. You will notice how anxiety is reduced little by little.
4. Beware of false solutions: Avoid small portions of junk food, because more than satisfy the craving, you will only increase the desire to eat it in large proportions.
5. Detoxification: Make a list of all your favorite foods and discard those that are not healthy. Also make a list of the places you frequent to live or eat and avoid returning to those where they cook foods that harm your health.

Remember that only you can end the addiction of food, you just need to be aware that you want to recover your physical, mental and emotional health, as well as learn to eat consciously to avoid diseases such as overweight and obesity.
