Why comfort foods are attractive when we are feeling down
New Delhi, March 31 (ANI): A new study has demonstrated that people's attraction to comfort foods was based on the relationship they had with the one who had first prepared the dish for them and would eat it when they felt low or sad. The research found that social factors influenced a person's choices and eating behavior and some of the participants defined comfort food as a healthy food choice, whereas for the others it was starchy and fatty. Researchers asserted that as long as children had positive associations with the person who cooked the comfort food, they would be drawn to the food in times of isolation. Research also suggested that although comfort food would never break ones heart but might destroy a person's diet.
