Comfort Eating
Why do so many of us do comfort eating? Why is eating so often associated with pleasure? Why does it makes us feel good (for a while)? Sure, we might have been conditioned to medicate our mood with eating when we were young, but how does it work physiologically?

As I was looking up the function of serotonin, I found on the Wikipedia web site the following description of Serotonin. "Serotonin is a neurotransmitter, it mediates gut movements and the animal's perception of resource availability. In response to the perceived abundance or scarcity of resources the animal's growth, reproduction or mood may be elevated or lowered."

Now we can understand why there is such a strong link between eating and feeling good.

Research has shown that we also can increase our serotonin levels through movement. This method is better for the waist line and less likely to make us feel guilty. Brain Gym movements also increase our serotonin levels, So why not come and learn Brain Gym Friday and Saturday 13-14 August in the Neuro Integration Movements course? See below for details.

Look in the blue columns for my workshop dates till Dec 2010.

Have fun and take some risks.
