Ordering brain eating unhealthy foods when low blood sugar
Research suggests that when low levels of sugar in the blood, the brain begins to give orders to eat foods high in calories, especially in those who suffer from an increase in the weight already.
The orders issued by the brain on eating foods that contain high calories come from the area of the brain that regulate emotions and feelings and lack the ability to not eating.In this study, the researchers treated blood sugar levels for those who are obese and who do not suffer from obesity using the injection into a vein.
Been monitoring changes in the levels of sugar in the blood, while it has been pictures of the participants containing foods high calorie such as burgers, potato chips, chocolate and ice cream in addition to food with low calories, such as broccoli, fruits, salads and sprouts beans, and items not contain food.
Because this was happening, the scientists examined changes in their brains using functional magnetic resonance imaging or so-called (fMRI).
It was observed that when the fall in blood glucose levels, activated by two areas of the brain (insula & striatum (which increases the desire to eat.
But found that another region of the brain which normally prevent impulsive behavior, you lose the ability to limit the consumption of food soon.
Researchers said that poor response was amazing, especially in the case of volunteers who are obese when they were shown pictures of the foods contain high calories.
Said Dr. Kathleen Baji from Yale University, which participated in the study claims: "Our results suggest that obese people may be their limited ability to curb impulsive drive to eat, especially when sugar levels fall to less than the normal level."
The researchers suggest that maintaining the stability of the sugar levels by eating healthy foods like complex carbohydrates, fruits and vegetables may help people maintain a healthy weight.
