There are times when we are sad or even depressed and this emotional breakdown may lead to emotional eating, wherein, you tend to eat more than the required calories in a day.
According to a renowned nutritionist Dr. Rupali Datta, people eat lot of food to comfort themselves and divert their attention from their current situation. She explained to NDTV that a stressed person turns to mostly sugary and high-fat foods to feel relieved. Hormones, she adds, also play a vital role in shifting moods and eating.
So if you are sad or low, make sure that you don’t pick up convenient options for yourself knowing they can harm you in many ways. Make sure someone is accompanying you; someone who can divert your mind from eating too much. In case of excessive emotional eating, do not shy away from visiting a psychiatrist or concerned expert.
