How the Pleasure of Food Affects Our Brains and Behavior

Herausgeber: Avena, Nicole M

Beschreibung

Hedonic Eating explores the science and latest research to understand the root cause of overconsumption and the role of pleasure-based eating. With a comprehensive overview of the factors that may be driving these behaviors, this book discusses how the brain is impacted in this ongoing cycle, why so many individuals struggle to regulate their intake of highly-palatable, ultra processed foods, and the physiological processes that contribute to overconsumption.
