CONTACT: By Makeisha Lee, Health and Nutritional Advisor There are many addictions that go unnoticed or get downplayed in today's society. Others get absolutely too much airtime, like all the juicy gossip about alcohol and drug addictions of celebrities in the media. Everyday we are bombarded with breaking news of stars and there foolish encounters with the law, all courtesies of various addictions. The addiction in question now is that of food, more specifically high fat, sugary and or salty foods. Most people are not aware of any possible food addiction because like all other addictions, they are rationalized. People generally are not looking for their addictions; rather they look for ways to conceal them. Denial is the name of the game and all other players are blocked from scoring, or in other words people who seek to help the addicted person have no luck in their efforts. So the smartest move would be to just identify some possible areas of food addiction to raise them to a level of suspicion. One may feel that that they don't have an addiction to unhealthy foods and they express it with the typical addict's logic of, "I may have a little sugar or a little fat here n' there and" then turn around and pig out on processed foods that have large quantities of hidden sugars and fats. That piece of cake this time and that candy bar that time. Once you start, it's hard to stop there, it only progresses. This is what the end result resembles. Some symptoms of food/sugar addiction are: + Obesity (This is not a complete list, but it gives you a basis from which to raise suspicion as was mentioned earlier.) Food addiction is synonymous with compulsive overeating. Compulsive overeaters are often caught in the vicious cycle of binge eating and depression. They often use food as a coping mechanism to deal with their feelings. When they binge eat, it temporarily relieves the stress of these feelings, but unfortunately is followed by feelings of guilt, shame and disgust. Food addicts are constantly struggling with their weight and or just plain unhappy with their weight. This kind of disorder commonly affects a number of obese individuals that can't seem to break free from the vice of excessive eating habits. For such individuals having one cookie is never enough, they have to have another until the bag is gone and then do it all over again. They may have soda pop or some other sugary/salty and/or high-fat laden food to give them that comfort and that surge or high rush. The problem is that after initial consumption of these foods it gives the brain only a temporary fix and you crave even more of it. Thus we live in a society with a prevalence of widespread obesity and obesity related illnesses. Don't shutter, for we are not here to label individuals, make a diagnosis and say, "take two of these and call back in the morning." On the other hand, we recognize that this condition of food addiction is nothing more than the body's inner cry for help from the turmoil going on within. The body is begging you to feed it the proper balance of nutrients and minerals to keep good brain chemistry. When the body does not get it, it takes what you do give it, and then becomes confused and suddenly you have no control over it or over your mind itself! There is a growing body of evidence that nutritional deficiencies, along with food allergies, amino acid imbalances can all result from or contribute to the cause of this addiction. So what can be done? 1) Seek alternative professional care (as prescription drugs may exacerbate the condition) We are here to inform that such persons are not alone in their struggle to overcome this type of eating disorder/addiction. Utilizing these proven strategies you can begin to bring the body back into harmony and balance so that it can once again function normally - addiction free.
