Imagine you've had a fight with your best friend.It's a stupid fight,something you will both get over.But right now you are upset.When you walk in the door,your mum asks what's wrong.How are you mostly likely to respond? Have a long,comforting talk about it with her.Or head to the fridge for the ice cream.But can that really help you feel better—or just make you feel sickeningly full?
Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of to satisfy hunger.We've all been there,finishing a whole bag of chips or eating cookie after cookie while preparing for a coming exam.But when done a lot—especially without realizing it—emotional eating can affect weight,health,and well-being.can be linked to positive feelings too,like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine's Day or the celebration of a holiday feast.More often,though,it's the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seek comfort or relaxation in food.
We all have our own comfort foods.Amazingly,they may vary according to moods and sex.One study found that happy people seem to want to eat things like pizza,while sad people prefer ice cream and cookies.Bored people desire salty,fragile things,like chips.Girls go for chocolate and ice cream.
This brings up a curious question: Does no one take comfort in carrots and cabbages?Researchers are looking into that-fat foodsody that create a sense of contentment and fulfillment,which may actually make you reach for these foods again when feeling upset.
We're all emotional eaters to some extent.But for some people,emotional eating can be a real problem,causing serious problems such as weight gain.
Managing emotional eating means finding other ways to deal with the situations and feelings that make someone turn to food.For example,do you come home from school each day and automatically head to the kitchen? Stop and ask yourself,“Am I really hungry?” Are you having difficulty concentrating? If these signs point to hunger【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文主要介绍了情绪化饮食及其带来的问题和解决办法。

The heating of the ground later causes bumpier (颠簸的) airThe smoothest place is often over or near the wing.
The bumpiest place on the plane is in the back.If you're in the middle,you don't move as much.
—Patrick Smith,pilot and author of Cockpit Confidential

The general flow of air on any airplane is from front to back.So if you're really concerned about breathing the freshest possible air or not getting too hot,sit as close to the front as you can.Planes are generally warm in the back.
—Tech pilot at a regional airline,Texas
