Comfort Food Cravings

[1] Do you crave for crunchies when you get the munchies? Cheer your­self up with chocolate? Chill out with ice cream? A recent survey of Americans’ eating habits shows that people snack for the sake of their spirits as well as for their stomachs.

[2] Why do you choose the foods you do? The answer involves a lot more than appetite. “For us, humans, eating is never a ‘purely biologi­cal’ activity,” observes Sidney Mintz, author of Tasting Food, Tasting Freedom.

[3] Foods from “the four basic snack food groups” — bready, crunchy, creamy, and chewy — fill different sensory and emotional needs, ac­cording to Julie Kembel, author of Winning the Weight and Wellness Game.

[4] Crunch is the secret to chips’ soaring popularity, points out Kem­bel. “We tend to store tension in our jaws, so when we eat something crunchy, we tense and relax our jaws, relieving some of that ache.” Chewy foods with carbohydrates, like bagels or licorice, help you slow down and unwind. Bready foods, like puddings, pasta, and por­ridge, create a feeling of fullness that makes you feel more secure. Fi­nally, creamy foods — luscious objects of sensory delight — are “our way of... indulging ourselves,” adds Kembel.

[5] When you're feeling down or distressed, you probably yearn for more than a mouthful of something nutritious or delicious. However, there’s a definite gender difference in choosing comfort foods. Nearly half of the women surveyed (49 %) prefer chocolate, while ice cream soothes the souls and stomachs of about four in 10 men (43 %). From a nutritional standpoint, these foods have a lot in common. “Chocolate and ice cream are similar in fat and sugar com­position and in biological effects,” notes Debra Waterhouse, author of Why Women Need Chocolate. “Both release brain chemicals — sero­tonin and endorphins — that make us feel better.”
