Now we know there is a link to Inflammation, poor eating habits and changes in behaviour
Overeating is a self perpetuating habit
which has devastating health effects. The habit sets off a series of events which short circuit the normal signals the body gives to regulate eating habits.
All this leads to wide spread inflammation, contributing to chronic diseases like arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Apparently food choices make changes, not only in your health, but in your behaviour as well. Overweight people approach food differently and scientists now think this might be due to a chemical response to their high fat diet rather than gluttony or lack of will power.
These were the opening words in an article by Maryann Marshall in which she outlines a very interesting phenomenon involving bad eating habits, inflammation and changes in human behavior.
In a recent study, scientists found that overeating caused actual changes in brain chemistry and this in turn caused people to approach food as though they were starving. It also found that the more people consumed a particular type of diet, the Standard American Diet (SAD) which consisted of mostly saturated fats and simple carbohydrates, the more they were susceptible to inflammation in the body.
Inflammation and obesity are inextricably linked
Put simply, it all has to do with chemicals in part of the brain called the hypothalamus that either inhibit or encourage the use of fat in the body as a source of energy and or storage of that fat. A high fat diet causes the release of chemicals that stimulate a desire for more fat and that stimulation is also linked to a high incidence of inflammation. Inflammation contributing to chronic diseases appears to be inextricably linked to obesity.
There was a 2nd study conducted at UC Irvine in which rats were fed unsaturated fat, oleic acid found in olive oil, avocados and nuts. After 20 minutes these nutrients triggered the release of a compound called oleoylethanolamide (OEA) which sent hunger-curbing messages to the brain and increased feelings of fullness. OEA not only reduced appetite, it produced weight loss and lowered blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
Choose a healthy, inflammation reducing diet
What you can do about it? It’s recommended that your consideration for choice of foods over and above fat content should include those that lead to reduced inflammation levels in your body.
