So we’ve heard of people being riddled with substance additions. Be it alcohol or drugs, substance addiction definitely appears to be a pervasive phenomenon across the globe. But –now here’s the question I really want to ask: Is food addiction a real thing?
Well, not just food –let’s get specific; I’m talking about potato chips! The truth of the matter is that we definitely just cannot eat one single potato chip. No matter what we do, we can’t help it! Every time I’m offered a pack of chips, I wholeheartedly wish I could eat just one –but something deep down within me just prevents me, And before I know it, I’ve gobbled up a whole pack, and maybe then some!
So, what is this mystic lure of potato chips that has the world wrapped around its finger (chip)? Psychologists, nutritionists, scientists… They’ve all explored the possibility of food addiction being just as real as any other kind of addiction. And what’s the conclusion? Well, you’ll be glad to know that from the general understanding of the variables involved, along with the experience in itself –food addiction is legit, folks!
Talk about mass-produced potato chips or kettle chips india, they’re all just as delicious and irresistible! For starters, there’s the whole concept of binge eating that’s definitely as real as it gets –so much so that it’s made its way into the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-V).
So it’s clear enough that eating is a habit that can be quite addictive –whether it’s compulsive or impulsive, or what have you. But, this addiction isn’t just a state of mind, it also stems from actual qualities present in the food itself. What are these, you ask?
Let me tell you. Highly processed foods tend to have addictive elements in them that have us begging for more, more, and ever more! As it happens, highly processed foods, such as potato chips, are hyper-palatable. What does this mean? Essentially, they are so loaded up on fat, sodium and sugar, that they create a trifecta that’s just absolutely irresistible. Now what these hyper-palatable ingredients do is that they create such a perfect balance, that they lead to pleasurable sensations. And of course, could we possibly deny eating anything that makes us happy on the insides? No way, no-one can eat just one!
So, there you have it! Food addiction decoded. Now, take satisfaction in the fact that it just can’t be helped, and go munch on some kettle chips india –but remember, you can control it if you want to, but who could resist it, am I right?
