Food Captured with Yummy Thoughts | Sense of Food

A person eats several times a day, and yet this activity remains largely misunderstood. From vitally necessary for the human body, food is increasingly becoming harmful. A person rarely realizes how he treats his body by eating. Every wild animal knows how to take care of its body. It has a sense of its need for food. This feeling is present even in animals that grow up without contact with their mothers. Where is this feeling in people? Humans are the most educated creatures on Earth about their food, and is that helping them? Are they free to eat whatever they want or do they have to be told what to eat? What is food? – food, alcohol, cigarettes, shopping...

A Sense of Food is a look at the emotional side of eating. To what emotions a person tries to suppress or feed through eating. A look at what a person is really hungry for.

Recently, when it comes to healthy eating, it is often mentioned to "listen" to your body. The experts advise us to follow the signals it gives us and we will not make a mistake in our choice of food. It sounds so simple! It's like the whole time we've been bouncing between different diets and regimens, we've carried the tent key in our back pocket.

Well, like most things in this life, the application of this practice is not at all that simple. What does it really mean to "listen" to your body? Our body is quite a complex system, and yet it doesn't have an alarm like a microwave or a flashing light like a fire alarm. How, then, are we to read the signals? How to distinguish hunger from boredom or emotional eating? How do we know what food we need at this very moment? All these issues were not on the agenda in the past. The absence of many and varied foods has eliminated such torments. Not to mention that quite a large part of the population suffered from shortages of basic foods and hunger. The supply of food itself was a priority, not its variety. If we were to go even further back in time to our primitive ancestors, we would find that such dilemmas would be completely unthinkable. The way of life thousands of years ago removes even the questions of when and how much to eat. Everything was simple - you eat when you can and as much as you can, because you never know when you will be able to catch food.

Today we already have access to everything and in huge quantities. The simple things take a backseat to the infinite variety that has helped humanity survive. We are bombarded with advertisements of various delicacies from everywhere, bombarding our senses with countless different sensations. The human nervous system gets overwhelmed by all these rich colors, flavors and aromas. More choice means more chance for mistakes and confusion.
Our nervous system has specific organs responsible for different senses. We all have multiple senses that allow us to exist and make daily choices such as what food to eat. The main senses are 5 – sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. If we understood exactly how our senses work, it would make healthy food choices much easier and intuitive.
