Love and Food: A true romance
This month of February, we celebrate the gift of love and it’s no coincidence that one of the most popular gifts are chocolates, and the most popular activity is spending a romantic dinner with your loved one.
Let’s face it: Food and love; love and food – definitely two of our favourite subjects in life, these basic human needs are also innately linked. There is a profound connection between food and intimacy.
Do you agree that:
A man’s heart is through his stomach?
The proverb is true - either it is eating well because you’re in love or losing your appetite on a heartbreak.
Desiring for what is forbidden, food and love are bound together as they produce the same reward hormones like dopamine and norepinephrine, which make us feel good. It’s a fact: when you are a couple, your lifestyle revolves a bit more around food.
