Food: Meaning of your food cravings

Philippines
July 9, 2009 8:36pm CST
I have read this article from Readers' Digest and it says that for every food that we crave, there's something behind it. In my personal observation, I tend to crave for chocolates or some sweets if I am nervous or yearning for some affection. Funny but true. Read on about it and tell me what you think of the article. ANGRY PEOPLE often eat meat which they can chew agressively, its like a release.. LONELY PEOPLE eat bulky food such as rice, they feel empty so they want something that makes them feel full.. STRESSED PEOPLE eat chips or crackers.. [b] SAD PEOPLE[/b] indulge in ice cream and cheese.. SEXUALLY FRUSTRATED PEOPLE eat breads and donuts, they want something that slides down easy, no hassles..

I agree, they say that the reason behind it in physiological psychology is because the part of the brain that is concerned with our emotions is the hypothalamus. And as well, this part of the brain is also the one concerned with food regulation. In short, there is a significant correlation between food intake and emotions. I had read an article before when I was still in college, it is in Women's magazine, (I cannot tear out the page because it is a magazine inside the PUP library, hehehe)it states there some food craving and their meanings, like if you feel like eaating chocolates, it is believed that yuo are looking for affection. Though did not state the relation of chocolate to affection, but as I asked around my friends, it is true to some of them. If you are really interested, you may want to research more, there are a lot of studies about that.

That's an interesting article. It's hard to say really, because I eat just about everything you listed in 3 days time. Maybe I am in need of some therapy, lol. I love chocolate also, especially dark chocolate!
