Anxiety eating, a factor that generates overweight and obesity in México: Issste / @drpedrozenteno @ISSSTE_mx >>>

#ISSSTE.- One of the factors that cause obesity and overweight is emotional eating, that is, when people eat out of anxiety, stress, anger or at social gatherings, without measure or physiological need. For this reason, the Instituto de Seguridad y Servicios Sociales de los Trabajadores del Estado (Issste) established a multidisciplinary scheme made up of specialists in nutrition, medicine and psychology to treat these health problems in the entitled population.

With the aim of strengthening and promoting prevention, the general director, Pedro Zenteno Santaella, deployed a strategy to support the population in improving eating habits and providing guidance on practices that can be avoided in order to take care of their health.

During her participation in the Health Fair «¿Ya PrevIssste? Ya la hiciste!», the head of department of the Regulatory Directorate of Health, Andrea Calvo Rodríguez, indicated that emotional eating is defined as the action of eating for appetite, but without hunger, that is, «our body is not in need of food at that moment to maintain our vital functions, but rather it does so to face, avoid or regulate some situation or experience we are going through».
