Why do we eat?

About 100 reasons have been put forward.

Mostly, people are not saying “for nutrition”.

These days our eating seems to be driven more by our feelings and moods than anything else.

Food and drink influence our mood – all the time every day.

We help you to see food and drink not just as sustenance or sources of short term pleasure. With a clearer view of many food mood links you gain opportunities to change eating habits reducing the stress on our minds and bodies. In the longer term eating food that is good for the mood is good for physical health too.

One day of training allows the study of much of this vast subject of food and mood, while short workshops are also popular.

We help you understand why people choose the foods they do and how we can all be choosing foods that allow us to feel mentally and physically healthier.

Food and drink choices are influenced by: nutrition, taste, aromas, who we eat with, social and less social drinking, additives (some being mostly OK and some that are clearly doing harm), freshness, how we cook, where we eat, when we don’t have time to chew, our sensitivities, intolerances, allergies, body image, quick energy/slow energy needs… and a whole lot more.

As well as Food and Mood workshops we work with organizations such as the Optimum Nutrition Institute to provide more formal training in Nutrition and Mental Health.
