Studying Food Reward and Motivation in Humans
Published on: March 19, 2014
Abstract:
With this writing I want to focus on reward system being this the place of wellness signaling molecules, of health regulation, of needs and also of human rights ruling. As in some of my previous writing I will describe the neuro-anatomo-physiology of reward system, I will focus on which are the CNS main centers involved, on the pathways and their functions. I will insist on the fact that reward is the place where we distinct bad from good and is also the system of pathways that regulates our health. Being this clear, I will describe a bit more in depth the reward strategies: I talk about the quantity and quality right diet, the fitness need, the mindfulness human right, the affective life importance, and the sleep human right too. I also describe acupuncture relationships with reward system. In conclusion I give the perspective that reward system is important since it is strictly related with the right lifestyle practice and the pursuing of the human rights for everyone on this World.
