Junk food, the most favorite and tasty food which is loved by all of us. Once we starting eating it, we forget our healthy and regular food. But have you ever wondered why do we love junk food so much?
We love junk food because manufactures design it to activate our brain's reward system. The company creates a perfect combination of salt, sugar, spices, etc., in their products. Which excite our taste buds, thus activating our brain reward system and making us feel good.
Now, when we eat regular food, it doesn't activate the reward system which feels less appealing. If we compared the junk food with healthy food then the quantity of healthy good looks more. But notably, both the foods contain same number of calories.
As healthy food also contains water and fiber, the add up to the volume which fills our stomach whereas the junk food doesn't have enough water and fiber, it doesn't fill our stomach. So, we keep eating the junk food till our stomach fills up and end up consuming more calories leading to obesity, diabetes, etc.
