Although food nourishes us and provides fuel for our bodies, it is also strongly associated with mood and emotion. What we eat and how we eat can impact how we feel — and conversely, certain feelings, good or bad, can motivate our food choices.
Our relationship with food can be complicated as certain foods and emotions surrounding them can have stigmas, which may, in turn, lead to disordered eating. However, understanding our moods and how food and society can impact us is a step towards a healthier relationship with food and ourselves.
