Being in a good mood, in general, we tend to eat more correctly than in bad. Scientists of Cornell University (USA), led by Dr. Brian Wansink, conducted several interesting experiments. Their participants watched cheerful and sad films, listened to humorous and tragic stories, described the situations that raise or spoil our mood. At the same time, everyone was treated to hot popcorn. It turned out that “sad” participants – both men and women – eaten much more popcorn (sometimes 50%) than their “funny” colleagues. Scientists explain this by the fact that unconsciously we are trying to get ourselves out of a sad state, and it is easier and easiest to do this with the help of « comforting food », which, alas, is rarely healthy.
