Hogging Nonstop?

Dr Siddhant Bhargava, Fitness & Nutritional Scientist, Food Darzee, gives you ways to beat emotional eating.

At some point in life, we have all indulged in mindless chomping for a quick emotional fix or in an effort to evade an anxious situation. Credit for this goes to the fact that gorging on food is an instantaneous remedy that discharges dopamine in the brain and briefly makes us feel relaxed and good. But the actual worry jumps at us when the instinctive urge to resort to food to make us feel better, turns into a hardwired habit that’s tough to break.

HERE ARE WAYS TO STOP EMOTIONAL BINGEING…

Comprehend why you are feeling starved: It is important that we spare some time to follow what exactly our cravings mean, and then look for ways to confront the urges and impulses that make us opt for those pleasurable edibles. Ask yourself: What are the other enjoyable activities I can indulge in rather than binge eating? Yoga, meditation and breathing activities are extraordinary roads to pick up mindfulness.
