Description
The human body's complex interactions with food and environment are often misunderstood. Gut Reactions by Simon Quellen Field sheds light on the biochemistry, psychology, sociology, and physiology behind obesity in the United States. This book reveals how genetics, previous weight history, brain chemistry, environmental cues, and social pressures influence diet choices, as well as the role of dozens of hormones in regulating hunger and satiety. It also explores why certain foods can be addictive, interacting with the same dopamine and opioid receptors in the brain as cocaine, heroin, amphetamines, and nicotine. For those seeking to understand their metabolism or gut microbiome's impact on food cravings, Field provides scientific answers to help navigate weight management and nutrition.
