Why we love junk food?
The human body is designed to crave for
energy-efficient food. Foods rich in
carbohydrates, fats and proteins are mainly the
source this energy. One of the other
interesting food facts is that when we pick a
meal for ourselves, we subconsciously look for
the following characteristics in them Fats,
Carbohydrates, Proteins and Crunchiness. The
reason why we look for the first three
characteristics is because these elements are
vital to our body and make food energy-
efficient. Crunchiness is usually associated
with freshness of a food. This idea has been
planted in our minds and hardwired in our brain
over a period of time. For example, going back to
ancient times, humans consumed fruits and berries
that provided with the necessary fats and carbs
and protein was gained from meat. Crunchy
fruits were usually characterized as fresh!
Another well-known food fact is that junk food is
rich in Sugar. Consumption of sugar or sweet
foods, leads to the release of dopamine in the
body. Usually, dopamine is released during
pleasurable moments or situations. The
secretion of this neurotransmitter, causes a
person to seek out a desirable activity over and
over again.
