Why Comfort Foods Make You Feel Better...
Dear Reader,
The next time you're feeling down, and you find yourself yearning for those yummy comfort foods we all love (chocolate, mac and cheese, salty snacks, ice cream, etc.), you'll understand just why these treats make you feel better thanks to some new research out of Belgium. It seems that fatty foods do more than just satisfy our appetites; they also seem to soothe the brain.
We've all had experiences where a specific food feels like it heals emotional wounds. Some would say this reaction is in your mind... a soothing memory from childhood, a time of safety and security. But others believe there are physical signals that go from the stomach right to the brain, where they can have an impact on our mood.
Most experts thought the look, smell and taste of comfort foods brought much of the benefit, but this latest research bypassed these types of sensory stimulation by infusing fatty acids right into the stomach. What's more, the subjects did not know what they were getting
The researchers used 40-minute functional MRI scans to look at the areas of the brain that lit up when 12 healthy, non-obese subjects felt sadness, and were then given an infusion of either fatty acid or saline delivered via feeding tube.
The subjects listened to either sad or neutral music while looking at images of either sad or neutral faces. They were asked to rate their fullness, hunger and mood both before they had the MRI and at three points during the scan itself.
Those who got the fatty acid infusion reported feeling half as sad as those who got the plain old saline.
The infusion of fatty acids appeared to ease the neural response to sad feelings in parts of the brain. In fact, the scans showed that induced sadness brought a change of from 3-4%, but this shrank to less than 1% for those who were given an infusion of fatty acids.
The researchers believe the findings show that the stomach must somehow "talk" to the brain, even when the pleasing sensation of actually eating a comfort food is removed.

Why Comfort Foods Make You Feel Better... Continued...
It's hard to say if other ingredients in foods would do something similar, so
more work is needed. A larger population of subjects would help confirm these
results. Looking at the effects of high fat and high sugar foods would also be
an important step in terms of future research.
It may also prove valuable to look at "emotional eaters" and successful dieters.
Still the findings may be a step on the road to finding treatments for depression,
eating disorders or obesity itself. No one can deny that finding a way to keep
people from craving high fat, sugar-laden foods would be a great help in managing
obesity.
The work certainly gives us some insight into the relationship between food and
our mood. The fatty acids reduced some of the feelings of sadness and this is
something many of us are familiar with, though we might not understand the physiology
behind it. The findings do show that something physical is going on here.
The intriguing study has just been published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
To your good health,
