Day 10 - HIGHLY PALATABLE FOODS

Chronic exposure to highly palatable foods, or foods with a lot of added ingredients, has the power to change our brains and condition us to seek more, often times without us even realizing it.

Over time, the drive for a combination of salt, sugar, and saturated fat competes with our ability to resist.

Those with a history of addiction are more likely than others to find this kind of food reinforcing, and are thus drive to seek and consume it, despite negative consequences.

Start watching the mind and watching the behaviors.

Consider taking a break from highly palatable foods for a week to observe if your cravings or mood changes.

It is fascinating what we learn about ourselves when we wake up :-)
