Eat to live, don’t live to eat. We eat food so that we can provide our bodies with essential nutrients to keep it moving. We only need so many calories a day depending upon our age, weight and activity level. The average woman is only supposed to consume 2000 calories a day. This is only an average and as mentioned, changes depending upon those three factors listed. Why is it then, that so many Americans are overeating and developing diseases such as heart disease and diabetes? Preventable diseases. Well the answer is simple. People live to eat, not eat to live.I was looking for more information and found it here. Although the answer is simple the solution isn’t. We have to get to the source of the issue and figure how why this is. I believe that people eat for different reason. Some of us eat out of boredom, when we get depressed, and sometimes when we are lonely. Food should never be used to fill a void. Emotional eating will only make matters worse when your weight becomes another issue added to your preexisting issues. The key is to find out the reason behind your eating habits and tackle them head on. Never use food as a substitution. Food is not bad it is necessary, It only becomes an issue when people live to eat instead of eating to live.
