How Does Read Signals That Our Body Is Sending Us?

Obesity within adults is a prevalent problem in the United States, with over 51% of all adults suffering from obesity by the year 2030 (Joyner et al. 217). Obesity, or the state of being excessively overweight, is sometimes a result from what is known as food addiction. Much like an addiction to a substance, to be addicted to food is to constantly crave a certain food item (Joyner et al. 217). Obesity and food addiction tend to coincide with each other. That coexistence is shown primarily in the documentary Super Size Me, in which director Morgan Spurlock focuses on the way fast food and food addiction affect the human body.

Psychological factors also play a large role in obesity. Many people eat in response to negative emotions such as sadness, depression and anger. These people are generally binge eaters. During a binge eating episode, a person eats large amounts of food and feel that they cannot control how much they are eating. These people have more difficulty losing weight and keeping it off than others without a binge eating problem. It is common that binge eaters suffer from low self esteem and depression.

Scientifically, you should not make long-term decisions while hungry. Students at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden studied if it is smart to make a decision when you are ravenous. A hormone that is made in the gastrointestinal tract, called ghrelin enhanced their study. Ghrelin is released when your body is searching for food as energy. When you are no longer hungry, the manufacturing of ghrelin halts. Ghrelin is also associated with drug and alcohol intake. The researchers at the University of Gothenburg examined rats. Yes, rats are not humans, but they can display human-like behaviors. When an extra amount of ghrelin was inserted into the rat, they would go against their regular impulses to gain a quick amount of sugar instead of waiting a little bit longer for a larger, more substantial prize. A very much known phrase is you should never go food shopping while you are hungry. We all have

“Hello group – My name is Heather Zearfoss and we will start today’s session with just a few quick key points on the effect of food on our lives. I am going to try and keep this as simple as possible so that everyone understands why exactly you are even hungry and why your body needs food. This will be important in understanding the role of it in your own life. First, let me start off by saying, everyone looks at food differently; however, many of you do not know why

Obesity: One of the ancient trait we have is to store food in our body when we need that in the event of the famine. Back in the old days, we use to prey on other animals and hunt and we were agriculturist. But, in the modern world, there are a lot of people that just eat and doesn’t exercise or not, let the calories burn. They also overstuff themselves, letting the food they had before sit there and convert into fat. This is the ultimate reason for humans to get overweight. This tells us that our body was made to eat food in a limited amount and exercising.

Our body can get hurt sometimes because of the way we eat. It might also react positively. Many of us do say, “You are what you eat.” In part B of Konies article it is stated that “Our body’s signals are critically important.” This shows that the performance of our body has to do with our ways of eating.

There are two theories on why we get hungry; these theories are called the Set or Settling Point theory, and the other is the Positive – Incentive theory. The Set or Settling theory differs a bit in the point of optimal weight (or fat/energy level) however the basic idea is the same. In this theory everyone has a set point (or an equilibrium) where the body is using the stored energy, and if the body is above this point then it does not become hungry if it is below the set point the body is lacking

Following a healthy diet is not simple even the very careful and the most disciplined consumers are not fully in control of what they eat (De la Peña 42).   Due to a high number of food choices, choosing what to eat comes automatically. This automatic food selection makes people to mind less what they consume and their sources. According to studies carried, what, when and how much we consume is determined by subtle forces outside our awareness.  Pollan claims that these forces can cause us to eat taking advantage of biological, psychological, social and economic weakness. This is clear evidence why some people are overweight

It is not just wanting a sandwich; hunger is present everywhere. The look in someone’s eyes when they desire nothing more than to travel the world, that’s hunger. When a musician spots a new piece of music, and their finger twitch at the thought of being able to play it, they can’t help themselves they need to play it. Hunger is the feeling of love; when a person wants another so much they feel as though they might burst; the need of the one that is not there with them. The feeling in the center of a person who wants to do what they love, but have no time to do it.

In the article, “Binge Eating At Night? Your Hormones May Be to Blame,” A New York Times journalist, Roni Rabin, discusses the science behind the causes of obesity. She claims that excess production of a hormone called ghrelin can be the cause. Despite the science behind obesity, Rabin still believes a person suffering from excess hormone production can be at a healthy weight. This article, published on January 30, 2018, was written for New York Times readers who are obese and those who are dieting. Rabin writes to make her audience aware of the fact that the cause of their weight gain could be scientific. This information serves two purposes for readers: it could encourage them to resist the urge to eat late at night and help a struggling dieter out of a rut. The article, "Binge Eating at Night? Your Hormones May Be to Blame” is rhetorically effective because Rabin gives readers ample amount of factual evidence. Because of Rabin’s successful execution of the rhetorical devices, her article was undoubtedly effective.

History suggests that overeating is a choice, an addition similar to smoking cigarettes caused by lack of will power, boredom or simple gluttony. With new research, society is beginning to learn there is more behind obesity than just a choice or addition. For instance, a

Hunger is a creation of God in the human life system. In His design of man, God made man with several components that form the various body systems according to biologists (Hockenbury and Sandra 63). It is a common occurrence to find people saying that they are hungry; their stomachs are empty and so forth. When the stomach is feeling this empty, the person wishes to have something to eat.

Jessica in Story A is matched with Symptom 1. Although she ate, she was not full and felt hungry almost all the time. She forced herself on counting calories and making sure she did not go over for the day. Moreover, she kept looking in the mirror and thinking that no matter how healthy she ate, she had the intense fear of becoming fat.

Many people today eat when their emotionally such as because the person is bored, sad, anger or even happy. Obesity can be caused by things like stress or depression and can cause a number of different health implications. For example a person that is obese is more likely to have diabetes later in life and also suffer heart problems. Over 30% of today’s population seek treatment for weight problems and this is all caused through binge eating. Binge eating is when someone eats large amount of food while feeling they can’t control how much they are eating, people who seriously binge and a very obese develop a disorder call binge eating disorder. The people with this kind of eating disorder find it difficult to lose weight and also find it difficult to control how much they are eating. Many people may need serious help for example counselling or medication or even operation to

The body’s ability to maintain a balance between energy intake and output is controlled by multiple complex systems and imbalance of this system leads to metabolic symptoms such as obesity. Obesity normally occurs when energy intake exceeds energy output (Hanbauer et al 2009). It has been shown that overtime appetite is stimulated when there is a decrease in the circulating level of fat metabolizing products. An individual’s
