Indulging in food is a favorite pastime for many.

But considering that ⅔ of Americans, or approximately 207337021 are overweight?

Perhaps we enjoy food a bit too much.

So, why can't we stop ourselves from consuming so much fatty and sugary food?

How do we beat overeating?

When your stomach is empty it releases a hormone called ghrelin.

Ghrelin interacts in the brain with the neurotransmitter NPY and turns on the desire to eat.

Once you satisfy this desire by eating, ghrelin levels drop back down and hunger subsides.

Conversely, after eating, a different hormone, leptin, is released from the stomach and fat cells, and interferes with NPY, further turning off the desire to eat, and making you feel full.

But if this hunger regulation system is in place, why can't we say no to that piece of cake, or second helping of chips?

Many food psychologists believe that in the past, energy-rich foods such as those with lots of fat and sugar, were hard to come by.

As hunter-gatherers, the human body needed to take advantage of these meals for survival, and as a result, they became extremely desirable.

But in today's world, we can get a high fat and sugary meal on any corner at any hour.

The problem is, the instinct and desire still remains, and so we struggle to stop eating these meals.

Recently, it's been discovered that the continual intake of fat and sugar overrides the regulatory system of ghrelin and leptin.

The signalling pathway is insufficient to control our new diet, and so our initial evolutionary desire now plagues our ability to choose wisely and eat healthy.

It's a self-perpetuating problem.

The more unhealthy food you eat, the more you desire food.

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
