Emotional feeding: historical narrative and the current scenario
Abstract
Introduction: The food intake when used to deal with negative emotions, as a form of response to them, is called emotional eating.Objective: Demonstrate the history and direction of research related to emotional eating.Materials and Methods:A narrative review of the literature was performed in the electronic databases (Pubmed and Scielo), using the descriptors: "emotional eating", "restrained eating", "dietary restraint", "negative affect" and "negative mood". In this review, papers since 1983 have been included.Results: The studies found relate the emotional eating with biopsychosocial factors related to emotional alteration and consequent influence on food intake, such as obesity and eating disorders, besides evaluation instruments and intervention to deal with this behavior. There has been an increase in the availability of papers on the theme over the years, most of them being developed in English-speaking countries.Conclusion: Interest in the topic has been increased throughout the review period and will likely remain in the next years due to the modern lifestyle with emotional impact, such as increased levels of stress, anxiety and depression, as well as increased cases of obesity and eating disorders.
