Our relationship with food is a direct reflection of our
relationship with life. If you struggle with your weight,
body image, or eating habits just know that this is not a
problem. All of these conditions are symptoms of a
problem that are trying to get your attention.
And so the more willing you are to take an honest look at
yourself and your relationship with food, the more
opportunities you will have to not only know yourself
better but to make change. Remember, we cannot
change what we do not accept (or see) so change will
always begin with (kind and patient) observation and
acceptance.
Eating (also known as consuming) is the ingestion of food,
typically to provide a heterotrophic organism with energy and to
allow for growth. Animals and other heterotrophs must eat in
order to survive — carnivores eat other animals, herbivores eat
plants, omnivores consume a mixture of both plant and animal
matter, and detritivores eat detritus. Fungi digest organic matter
outside their bodies as opposed to animals that digest their food
inside their bodies. For humans, eating is an activity of daily
living. Some individuals may limit their amount of nutritional
intake. This may be a result of a lifestyle choice, due
to hunger or famine, as part of a diet or as religious fasting.
❖ Fueling Eating
This type of eating is usually
associated with athletes,
who not only plan their
training regimens but also
their daily food intake so
that they can perform very
well during competition.
Fueling is eating specific things during specific time windows to
maximize performance and recovery. Clearly, you cannot
achieve your full potential as an athlete if your nutrition is
terrible, but fueling is something that many athletes do not
focus enough on. The common expression “An apple a day
keeps the doctor away” certainly describes the benefit of fruit as
part of a healthy diet. For athletes, healthy eating, particularly
just prior to competition, is essential for peak performance.
“If an athlete has a morning competition, the meal
eaten the night before should be well balanced and
something commonly eaten,” said sports dietitian Brett
Singer, RD, LD, of the Memorial Hermann IRONMAN Sports
Medicine Institute. “While carbohydrates are important,
‘carb loading’ is not necessary. A meal of grains, starchy
vegetables or fruits should suffice.”
If an athlete has an event within 24 hours, it is important to
refuel within 30 to 60 minutes after exertion, starting with a
sports drink. One to two hours later, eat a small recovery meal
such as a sandwich, a large bagel with jelly, or fruit and yogurt.
“Cells and muscles are more welcoming of glycogen
immediately after exercise, helping replenish muscle glycogen,”
said Singer. “Make sure the food is easily digestible, though, so
you can perform at the next event.”
If time is limited between events, sports drinks may be the best
option for refueling. If the next game is three to four hours
away, a more substantial meal like a foot-long submarine
sandwich, a large banana, a 20-ounce sports drink and another
small piece of food is suitable.
“Usually the rule of thumb is that if you’re two hours or more
away from an event you can have 1 gram of carbohydrates per
pound of body weight,” said Singer.
❖ Emotional Eating
Is depending on their
mood. We don’t always eat
just to satisfy physical
hunger. Many of us also
turn to food for comfort,
stress relief, or to reward
ourselves. And when we do, we tend to reach for junk food,
sweets, and other comforting but unhealthy foods. You might
reach for a pint of ice cream when you’re feeling down, order a
pizza if you’re bored or lonely, or swing by the drive-through
after a stressful day at work. Emotional eating is using food to
make yourself feel better—to fill emotional needs, rather than
your stomach. Unfortunately, emotional eating doesn’t fix
emotional problems. In fact, it usually makes you feel worse.
Afterward, not only does the original emotional issue remain,
but you also feel guilty for overeating.
❖ Social Eating
It can be associated and
influenced by traditions.
Eating together and eating
according to similar cultural
norms or rules has been
shown to be a source of
cultural cohesion and identity, making us feel more connected
to each other. There is also abundant evidence that people
actual enjoy eating with others, that social eating is more
intrinsically pleasant and makes people happy. Not only does
good food seem to taste better when we eat it with others, but
if we are eating with people who like to eat, and eat relatively
large amounts, this can allow us to eat more without feeling
that we have overindulged. Moreover, people who share food
are seen as being friendly with each other and those who eat
similar foods to us are seen as more trustworthy. However,
some find eating alone to be more relaxing, less stressful, and
to allow one more autonomy over one’s eating. Yet despite
these differences, all cultures seem to value social eating,
possibly for the bonding and increased positive affect that it
provides.
New research from the University of Oxford has revealed
that the more often people eat with others, the more likely
they are to feel happy and satisfied with their lives. Using data
from a national survey by The Big Lunch, the researchers looked
at the link between social eating and an individual’s happiness,
the number of friends they have, their connection to their
community, and overall satisfaction with life.
The results suggest that communal eating increases social
bonding and feelings of wellbeing, and enhances one’s sense of
contentedness and embedding within the community.
❖ Eating Out of Habits
Are those people who eat
though they're not hungry
or else eating while they’re
watching television or
computer. It may seem odd
to think of eating out as a
habit. It requires deliberation to decide where to go and what
to eat. But the larger decision to consume food and drink in
public space instead of in the privacy of the home has become
reflexive — the default locale for meals and snacks. So yes, in
fact, when we’re eating popcorn at the movies or chips in front
of the TV, we’re eating out of habit which explains how we
overeat.
