Is Food Really Your Friend?

When listening to the Medical News Today Video it explained about how many people look to food as their friend. One woman who was interviewed on the footage even said, "It was something that soothed, it was something that made the bad things go away." But the problem that many people face is the control of emotional eating. Certain people will eat to fill an emotional void, but then turn around and feel guilty for filling that void. This video talks about this vicious cycle and mentions certain individuals who had to fight the emotional attachment made between them and food. One very interesting fact that I heard was that "75% of over eating is tied to emotional needs." This just proves that there is a tie between food and emotions.

I thought this video was very interesting. I felt as though the Medical News Today staff made a video that was very informative and effective. It provided case studies and statistics which I felt made it an impact on its viewers. I was very intrigued by this video and thought that it made several valid points.
