    Eating Habits
    Activity #1
    Directions: List of least 5 situations that you tend to eat more than you expected.

    1st Situation: Social Influences


    Eating behavior is greatly influenced by social setting, according to Suzanne Higgs and Jason Thomas.
    When we dine with other people, we eat differently than when we eat alone. Our food preferences tend to align
    with those of our close social circles. One explanation for this is because we find it rewarding to conform to
    other people's behavior. Other people's behavior, as well as shared cultural expectations and environmental
    signals, influence eating norms. If an eating norm is seen to be significant based on social comparison, we are
    more inclined to follow it.
    2nd Situation: Mental Health
    According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, those who are obese and have binge
    eating disorders are more likely to have a mental health problem, such as anxiety or depression. Overeating may
    lead to weight gain and the inability to manage binge eating, which can contribute to depression. Overeating as
    a coping technique may be triggered by depression. One of the most common signs of depression overeating is
    a compulsive need to eat more than you need yet never feeling completely satisfied. This is especially true if
    you're eating to relieve stress rather than to eat because you're hungry.
    3rd Situation: Premenstrual Syndrome
    Binge eating, also known as compulsive eating, is an uncontrollable need to consume more food than is
    necessary. It might include sneaking food or snacking when you're not hungry. Some people experience regret
    or guilt as a result of their actions. Before a menstrual cycle, many women experience an increase in hunger.
    According to some study, increases in the hormones estrogen and progesterone promote cravings for
    carbohydrate and sugary meals before a period. Carbs and sugary meals may also assist to alleviate the
    exhaustion and poor mood that commonly accompany the start of a period. Both sugars and carbohydrates
    promote the release of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that boosts emotions of happiness. Additionally, eating on
    a regular basis helps to maintain blood sugar levels, which may assist to keep emotions stable.
    4th Situation: Stress Eating
    Some people are prone to ignoring their hunger cues and refraining from eating for lengthy periods of
    time as a result of stress. Others become emotional eaters who eat mindlessly as a result of stress. "When
    individuals are anxious, some people overeat, and others lose sight of their hunger," Dr. Albers explains.
    "Those who quit eating are so preoccupied with their stress that they are oblivious to their hunger signs." When
    we're worried, our brains send signs to our bodies, and those who overeat are seeking to distract themselves
    with food." According to Dr. Albers, this is part of our fight-or-flight reaction, which helps us deal with
    perceived threats in our surroundings. When you're stressed, your body produces cortisol, which is also known
    as the stress hormone. Because your brain believes it requires fuel to battle whatever threat is generating the
    stress, cortisol can make you desire sweet, salty, and oily meals.
    5th Situation: Distracted Eating
    It seems so boring to eat without any distractions, and I'd even say it's impossible. There's something
    immensely soothing about rewatching episodes of your favorite series while holding a spoon in your hand. The
    reasons behind this vary from person to person. My own issue is that if I'm left in silence for too long without a
    clear task, my brain tends to overthink. I become agitated when I attempt to eat alone and without distractions,
    and I start shoving food down so I can get back to work or whatever I was doing. According to popular belief,
    eating in front of a television provides us with a twofold dose of dopamine. Food and entertainment both create
    "happy chemicals" in our brains (potentially to the level of addiction). When you combine the two, your body
    is filled with feel-good chemicals, making this potent pair difficult to resist.
