Serotonin: why someone might crave carbohydrates
Self-tutoring about health, diet and mood: the tutor finds a connection between eating carbohydrates and mood.
Of course, some people eat because it makes them feel happy rather than because they are hungry. (I am one such person;) Is there an easy connection between eating and mood elevation?
Perhaps yes: serotonin. Serotonin is believed to reduce depression and perhaps promote contentment. Its release is augmented by eating carbohydrates but not by eating protein.
Interesting, eh?
