Wow, for more than a month I'm researching information about comfort food. I am very glad that I chose this topic, I again learned something new. Yet, even though it broke my faith that my moodiness and being emotional BOREDOM or even because we're sick are the reasons why I'm eating a lot.. which is really not the reason. LOL.. However, with these information, I still haven't discuss these actual food. there are food that we must AVOID! Oh my god, avoiding food is the hardest thing to do! And I agree on that, that's why prepare yourself before knowing what really are these favorites you must avoid.
After reading numerous articles, I have found articles discussing about what comfort food we must avoid. "Comfort Foods to Avoid When You're Sick" By Maryann Tomovich Jacobsen, from the title itself, this articles tackled about comfort foods we must avoid when we are sick. Comfort food such as alcohol and sugary beverages (which most of us really love), fried & spicy foods, dairy products (for some), sweets like cake, cookies, candy, etc.
Mentioned here that we should stay hydrated whenever we're sick, we must stay hydrated and stay away to alcohols because these cause dehydration, same with spicy food, it's one of the "must avoid food" because eating spicy food is really heard to digest whenever we're stressed out or sick.
"It might be tempting to run to your comfort foods to make you feel better, but that may not be the best thing for your body as it’s fighting off an infection," said Maryann.
This is so true, food temptation is one of the hardest to resist, we seek comfort to the food we eat, yet the truth is that it's not good for our own physical and mental being.
"Avoid the Comfort Food Trap" by K. Aleisha Fetters, this article talks about the habits people do when it comes to eating comfort food and she also mentioned on how to fix and change these habits. She mentioned the habits of eating too much carbohydrates which cause us to gain pounds, she said that instead of eating rice and oatmeals, change it to eating sweet potatoes which according to research, it helps depressions. She even mention about the microwaved and pre-heated food, instead of eating that we should just eat steamed veggies that will give us more nutrients than other kind of food.
"The term comfort food is a bit of a misnomer. We indulge in stuff like milkshakes and cheeseburgers to soothe ourselves, but they can actually have the opposite effect once they pass our lips—and it's not just because our clothes feel distressingly tighter," said Fetters.
The quote above was the first paragraph of Fetter's article, this means that eating fatty foods such as mentioned above gives us something more than just getting heavier and heavier and there are a lot of negative aspects of these foods that we can get. But still in the latter part of her articles, she fortunately tackled food that are good for us.
