Week#1: Happiness

This week I am going to talk about happiness. But first what is happiness? According to the dictionary of the RAE is a state of mind that rejoices in the possession of a well. So to me the happiness can be the food! Why food? It is because I think that eat it is a pleasure it is not a need.

According to the book "Comer sí da la felicidad" of Philip Hernández Ramos, he says that the nervous depression, the anxiety, the distress, the stress and many of these disorders coincide with the deterioration of the quality of our feeding. Also he says that there is a relation between the nutrition and the emotional imbalance.

According to the site www.muyinteresante.es when we eat for pleasure instead of doing for hunger it is what is known as "appetite hedonic ".  We look for the enjoyment that produces us to taste a certain flavor instead of treating to cover the energetic needs of the organism. 

A study on the physiological mechanisms suggests that when we eat for pleasure raised the levels of the hormone ghrelin and of the compound 2-araquidonilglicerol (2-AG), one cannabinoid endogenous that is not secreted when we eat for need. Ignoring the signals of the body that indicate us that we have eaten enough to recover the energy of the organism.  Thus increasing the rates of obesity. This way it is explained By Palmiero Monteleone, of the University of Naples (Italy), in an article that publishes the magazine Journal of Clinical Endrocrinology and Metabolism (JCEM).

I am not the only person who says that eat it is pleasure, maybe others persons think like me. The important thing here is that even if I think like this, the important is eat healthy, eat the necessary.
