There is nothing wrong with loving sweets. Happy Rose Double Fruit Tart does not make you fat.

Do you feel a sense of happiness when you eat desserts, snacks, or sugary drinks? Or will you feel that your hard work throughout the day has been greatly rewarded? In fact, sensitivity to reward (SR) is the source of happiness!

Do you feel happy when you eat desserts, snacks, or sugary drinks? Or will you feel that your hard work throughout the day has been greatly rewarded?

This is a positive stimulation reaction. When we get rewards, will we be more motivated to do things and move towards our goals more determinedly? Everyone has different sensitivities to rewards. Some people are happy for a long time after getting a piece of cake, while some people just think that a top-quality steak is just a piece of meat. Let us take a look at how small happiness manipulates our appetite!

Where does a girl's sense of happiness come from! ?

In a Belgian survey, more than a thousand teenagers aged 14 to 16 were recruited. After measuring their basic height and weight, they were asked to fill out the Behavioral Activation System scales (BAS) and the eating frequency questionnaire. These two surveys were used to explore the relationship between adolescents' motivation and eating behavior.

The BAS score can be used as an indicator of SR. The author found that the higher the SR of girls, the more sweets, sugary drinks and high-fat snacks they consumed, but the opposite was true for boys!

If you want to eat sweets without gaining weight, you can make your own Happy Rose Double Fruit Tart with about 7 nuts, about 1/4 of an apple, and 1 slice of whole wheat toast.

Boys eat to fill their stomachs!

Generally speaking, boys eat more than girls, so the author believes that boys' motivation for eating snacks is not out of a sense of reward, but they may just eat to fill their stomachs; on the contrary, girls get a sense of satisfaction and reward when eating, so they are easily affected by sensitive rewards. In short, we can use this picture to explain the relationship between the behavioral arousal system and sensitive rewards:

Girl's greasy happy fat

Research has found that this situation is more obvious in girls. The calories and fat in snacks are the main causes of happiness. So how should we replace the sense of happiness brought by snacks?

A healthier source of happiness~You can do this~Replace the fat in snacks with good fats and you will still be filled with happiness! Nuts are a good source of fat. The Ministry of Health and Welfare recommends consuming one serving of nuts (about 7 nuts) every day. Let’s have a happy recipe today!
