Salaciously Seductive Foods Can Be Addictive

By Lissa Wohltmann

A healthy lifestyle includes, but is not limited to, good nutrition. However, it’s really tough for some people to stay away from those big, beautiful brownies and bountiful baked goods. Unfortunately, some of the food on our grocers’ shelves can be salaciously seductive. You can just look at the Sugared Covered Sugar Bomb cereal and your salivary glands explode. The good news is that it’s not only you, it’s human nature. To explain the scientific reasons why we eat the way we do, just click on the hyperlink here and start reading Breaking the Food Seduction by Dr. Neal Barnard.

You can learn the scientific reason why, physiologically speaking, sugar is so addictive. Or read about the fact that excess protein leaches calcium from your body. You can even learn that building strong bones is not done by drinking milk but via weight bearing exercises such as running or weight lifting. The author also entices you to try using this nutrition plan for only three weeks and see if you feel different. No need to have a long term plan, just three weeks of eating the four main food groups – vegetables, fruit, whole grains, and legumes. Who knows, making a change for only a short period of time could become your new addiction. Why not give it a shot? What do you have to lose other than the obvious excess fat, sluggish feeling, and energy draining encounters?
