The food in relation to emotions

The food not only serves to feed  or keep us strong , but also greatly influences the mood of the person. How often have we said and heard we eat for pleasure? the food  not only has a nutritional function,since also the act of eating is pleasurable.A very typical example where we can clearly identify what to eat affects us in many ways, is that when we are anxious to go looking for foods that have various substances such as tryptophan, an amino acid that stimulates the release of serotonin and relaxes us while we becomes happier.These foods are  chocolate, banana, nuts or yogurt.

On the other hand, if we are sad or very upset by something, instead of eating more food  for calming nerves,we are not hungry or food doesn't feeling well the stomach
