write a given situation. You arrive home late after a miserable workday in which he hated, again, their work. Comes stressed and, despite his usual occupation is rather sedentary and does not consume many calories, prepare a nice dinner. But after a while can not remove the concerns of the head and, although not hungry, goes to the kitchen to eat a pudding, ice cream or anything else you like. Perhaps at that point as well to realize that all work is physical and mental prison, be aware that you are using food like a tranquilizer, spoiling, again, your diet.
Turns out, according to a study, this behavior has a biological basis. An activity that provides pleasure as food or sex (we are still very basic animal) reduces stress by inhibiting anxiety responses in the brain. Moreover, this effect of stress reduction is prolonged over several days, suggesting a long-term benefit. At least that stated in this study.
