Food, a cherished necessity in our lives, often becomes a source of comfort during times of heightened emotions. Experts suggest that emotional needs, rather than physical hunger, drive our eating habits in these moments. This is said to be particularly prevalent when feeling fatigued, stressed, overworked, bored, or sleep-deprived. Further, childhood trauma, social events, and celebrations are also said to trigger overeating as a response to emotional cues.
