Why does addiction to sweets occur: a nutritionist's comment
If a person has an addiction to sweets, then it is necessary to fight it. Otherwise, it can seriously harm the body.
But where did this dependence come from?
The answer to this question was given by nutritionist Elena Solomatina in a conversation with Lenta.ru .
She noted that this can be explained by primitive instincts.
Once upon a time, when a person received some sweet taste, he understood that he was receiving a carbohydrate, which helps to get quick energy, which will help him, for example, if he needs to escape from a predator.
As a result, people tried to find food that would accumulate fat tissue.
Also, the consumption of sweets is associated with the production of hormones that stimulate the further search for such food. Especially often men and women choose such products in too emotional periods. Most often we are talking about sad moments.
As a result, pleasure hormones are produced, which means that a person tends to continue choosing sweet foods.
