Nous avons rassembl\u00e9 quelques outils pour vous aider \u00e0 g\u00e9rer les d\u00e9clencheurs et les envies de mani\u00e8re plus bienveillante.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><br\/><b>Quelles en sont les causes ?<\/b><br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/>Certaines personnes qui mangent sous le coup de l'\u00e9motion se tournent vers la nourriture lorsqu'elles sont tristes, d\u00e9pass\u00e9es ou d\u00e9sorient\u00e9es. En r\u00e9alit\u00e9, il existe des raisons physiologiques qui expliquent pourquoi on se tourne vers la nourriture lorsqu'on a besoin d'un remontant. Manger (en particulier des aliments raffin\u00e9s) d\u00e9clenche la lib\u00e9ration de dopamine, \u2018 l'hormone du bien-\u00eatre \u2019. Cela procure une r\u00e9compense imm\u00e9diate et, <strong>m\u00eame si ce n'est pas durable<\/strong>, continue d'avoir un impact puissant sur votre cerveau, cr\u00e9ant des voies neurochimiques qui se souviennent du bonheur procur\u00e9 par cette glace. Lorsque vous ressentez une vague d'\u00e9motion plus tard, le cerveau se souvient que le sucre a apport\u00e9 un sentiment de soulagement et stimule l'envie de consommer ces m\u00eames aliments. Mais si vous mangez quotidiennement des snacks raffin\u00e9s et des fast-foods, <strong>la stimulation constante est trop intense pour votre cerveau <\/strong>et les r\u00e9cepteurs de dopamine diminuent, dans une tentative de r\u00e9gulation \u00e0 la baisse. Le r\u00e9sultat ? Il faut de plus en plus de nourriture pour se sentir bien.<br\/>\n<br\/>Pour d'autres, manger peut \u00eatre un moyen d'\u00e9viter les probl\u00e8mes ou de g\u00e9rer le stress. Ce type d'alimentation est motiv\u00e9 par la lib\u00e9ration de cortisol dans l'organisme, qui provoque la lib\u00e9ration de glucose (un \u00e9l\u00e9ment \u00e9volutif de la r\u00e9ponse de lutte ou de fuite), car le corps r\u00e9agit au stress aigu en se pr\u00e9parant \u00e0 combattre ou \u00e0 fuir. Lorsque vous \u00e9puisez vos r\u00e9serves de glucose, le cerveau tente de les reconstituer, pensant que vous avez besoin de carburant suppl\u00e9mentaire pour combattre la menace, et vous pousse \u00e0 rechercher quelque chose de sucr\u00e9, de sal\u00e9 ou de gras.<br\/>\n<br\/>Enfin, il convient \u00e9galement de mentionner l'alimentation par ennui. Il s'agit d'une strat\u00e9gie visant \u00e0 rompre la monotonie. Alors que le stress ou l'alimentation \u00e9motionnelle peuvent se traduire par des envies intenses, ce type d'alimentation peut simplement r\u00e9sulter d'une habitude ou de la pr\u00e9sence de nourriture \u00e0 port\u00e9e de main.<br\/>\n<br\/>Toutes ces variantes ont en commun le principe selon lequel elles nous poussent \u00e0 manger pour<b><strong> raisons autres que la faim physique et les besoins nutritionnels<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/b><br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><br\/><b>Comment g\u00e9rer<\/b><br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/>Tout d'abord, il est tr\u00e8s important de ne pas diaboliser ces r\u00e9actions naturelles. <strong>Ils sont le moyen utilis\u00e9 par le corps pour communiquer qu'il a besoin de quelque chose, qu'il veut se sentir bien ou qu'il a besoin de r\u00e9confort.<\/strong> Le fait d'\u00e9prouver ces envies ne vous rend pas faible, pas plus que le fait de les satisfaire occasionnellement. Cependant, l'alimentation \u00e9motionnelle peut devenir un cercle vicieux malsain de culpabilit\u00e9 et de sentiments d'impuissance si elle constitue votre principal m\u00e9canisme d'adaptation \u00e9motionnelle. Il est donc important d'apprendre des moyens plus sains de suivre et de mod\u00e9rer ces comportements, par exemple :<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><br\/><b>Distinguer la diff\u00e9rence entre vos \u2018 faims \u2019<\/b><br\/>\n<br\/>La faim \u00e9motionnelle a tendance \u00e0 survenir soudainement, avec un sentiment d'urgence et d'oppression. Elle est g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement <strong>une envie irr\u00e9pressible de certains aliments, pouvant entra\u00eener une alimentation inconsciente ou une consommation tr\u00e8s rapide sans savourer les aliments<\/strong>.

And with all the stresses and uncertainty of the world today, these types of eating patterns are surging.
