Who hasn’t been there: in the throes of(处于......的困境中)a food craving so intense that having Jillian Michaels appear in the flesh wouldn’t hold you back from that bag of chips... or greasy slice of pizza... or chocolate confection. But why exactly are these common food so powerful?
"Cravings definitely have a physical component, but they also give some insight into the type of person you are," says Alan R. Hirsch, M. D., head of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago. He’s studied the cravings, food choices, and personalities of more than 18 000 people for 25 years.
You like eating the chocolate because the flavor makes you swoon—but it does that because it stimulates the release of serotonin(血清素), Hirsch says. It’s basically an antidepressant in dessert form that your body instinctively seeks out when your happy chemicals are bottoming out and you need a quick lift. That depends on what type of chocolate you long for: Dark chocolate: You’re the life of the party, a social butterfly, and right in the mix of the team project at work. Milk chocolate: You’re the quiet, introspective type. Your idea of a perfect afternoon is a solo run or one-on-one time with a good book.
If you’re having trouble cooling down, your body may crave a fiery taste to make you perspire. That may seem counterintuitive, but it helps explain why Mexican food would be popular even when temps are scorching. Some research also suggests that people become addicted to the rush of spicy food—the spiked blood pressure, accelerated heart rate, and rapid breathing, says Tammy Lakatos Shames, a co-author of The Secret to Skinny. What it says about you: You love order, dislike wasting time, and sweat the details.
This is a lot like a chocolate craving—lusting after sweets could indicate that you’re looking to boost your mood. Or it could be that you’re just low on energy. The body absorbs refined sugars of the candy variety faster than any other type of food, giving you immediate fuel, Shames says. What it says about you: Sugar fiends tend to walk toward the wild side, Hirsch says. He describes them as hedonistic, with few regrets. They also like to stand out and feel special.
Your body needs glucose and sodium to function properly, so when the cells get sluggish(and you get tired), you reach for the chocolate-covered pretzels to get them refreshed, Hirsch says. What it says about you: You’re a loner, but a whiz(奇才), too. According to Hirsch’s data, people who think a potato chip dipped in chocolate sauce is a match made in sensory heaven tend to be creative but private, to the point that they appear standoffish.
If one is in great favor of dark chocolate, it may indicate that______.
