00:00A lot of us, when we're upset or nervous,

00:02the first thing we do is open the fridge and look for something to eat,

00:06especially canned or fried food.

00:09It's not just hunger.

00:11This happens for many reasons.

00:13The relationship between food and the brain and emotions.

00:15Food is not just something we do to live,

00:17but it's connected to the centers of pleasure in the brain.

00:20When we eat something we like,

00:21especially food that contains sugar or fats,

00:24the brain secretes dopamine.

00:25It's the pleasure hormone that makes us feel happy.

00:28So if someone is upset or stressed,

00:30food can be a quick way to make them feel relaxed,

00:33even if it's temporary.

00:34The cortisol hormone and its role in appetite.

00:37When we're under psychological pressure or upset,

00:39the body secretes the cortisol hormone,

00:41which helps the body deal with stress.

00:44The problem is that cortisol raises our appetite,

00:46and makes us crave food that contains carbohydrates and sugars,

00:50because it helps to reduce stress quickly.

00:53Food is like a food processor.

00:55Emotional eating.

00:56Some people are used to eating emotionally since childhood.

01:00For example,

01:01if someone's parents gave him chocolate or something sweet when he was sick,

01:05the brain learns to connect sadness to food,

01:07and grows to use food as a way to deal with negative emotions.

01:11The effect of sugar on the mood.

01:13Sweets and carbs cause the body to release serotonin,

01:17which is a hormone that improves mood and makes us feel good.

01:20That's why when someone is nervous or depressed,

01:23the brain asks for sugars in an erotic way,

01:26to raise the level of serotonin and improve mood.

01:29The problem is that this effect is temporary,

01:31and then we feel regret or even worse mood,

01:34because of the sugar level in the blood,

01:37which controls the mind during stress.

01:39When we're under pressure,

01:40the brain's ability to make rational decisions decreases,

01:43and this makes us avoid unhealthy choices,

01:46like good food.

01:47The brain focuses on getting rid of stress in any way,

01:51so it doesn't think about whether the food is useful or not.

01:53Sleep and stress disorders.

01:56Sadness and stress affect sleep,

01:58and if sleep is disturbed,

01:59the body reduces the production of lipid hormones,

02:01which tells the body that it is full,

02:03and increases the hormone ghrelin, which increases hunger.

02:07As a result, we feel that we are hungry,

02:09even if we don't really need food.

02:11Food is a way to escape from emotions.

02:13Some people use food as a way to escape from thinking,

02:16in the problem they are sad about.

02:18When we focus on food,

02:20even if momentarily,

02:21our brain moves away from the negative emotions or pressures that we go through.

02:24Food becomes a psychological distraction instead of a positive one.

02:28So how do we control emotional food?

02:30If you feel like you're eating when you're sad,

02:32there are many ways to help you control this feeling.

02:34First, know the reason.

02:36Are you really hungry?

02:38Or do you just eat to escape certain emotions?

02:41Change your routine.

02:42Instead of eating, try walking a little,

02:44look at something you like,

02:46or write your feelings on a piece of paper.

02:47Choose the right food.

02:48If you have to eat,

02:49stick to things that have protein and fiber,

02:52because they fill you up without causing a sudden increase in sugar.

02:55Sometimes, dryness makes us feel hungry in the wrong way.

02:58Get a good night's sleep.

03:00If you sleep well,

03:01the levels of hormones will be balanced,

03:03and you'll feel less hungry when you're nervous.

03:05The solution is not to completely stop yourself,

03:08but to be aware of the reason,

03:10and try to find alternatives that will allow you to deal with your emotions

03:12without eating in an unhealthy way.
