Tag: Food and emotion

According to research published by Frontiers, emotions profoundly influence our food consumption and eating decisions, with negative emotions often triggering increased intake of energy-dense foods. The phrase 'food is more than just fuel' delves into these complex emotional and psychological layers that go beyond simple biological necessity.

According to a study cited in *Psychology Today*, there is a real psychological connection between soup and a sense of well-being. When we sip a bowl of hot tomato soup, the feeling of warmth and nourishment can profoundly impact our mood, making us feel calm, cared for, and content.

Studies have shown a clear connection between what we eat and our mood, with a healthy, varied diet improving concentration and psychological well-being. So, the quest to understand what food makes people the most happy isn't just a matter of fleeting pleasure, but a scientific exploration of the gut-brain axis and neurotransmitter production.
