Your brain on food: Obesity, fasting and addiction (1572 hits)

Greetings friends!

New research presented this week at the Neuroscience 2012 conference suggests that what we eat can alter our brains and vice versa. The results of this research suggest that unhealthy eating choices can lead to disrupted brain connections that lead to weakened brain performance, which can lead to making more unhealthy choices--a vicious cycle. Give it a read and share your thoughts...

Do you think that if the church spoke out on the issue of obesity that people would become more weight conscious?

The news reported that a house entrance had to be cut open to take a 500 lb. female to the hospital where she died the next day. Her husband was her caregiver and she was found living in filthy conditions. I would think that once an obese person is unable to do for themselves, their caregiver is able to limit the amount of food they consume. So what type of compelling force is at work that causes people to continue over feeding them?
