Study links favorite foods to lower stress
A study has shown that eating favorite foods can reduce chronic stress by activating the brain's reward system, specifically highlighting a connection between dopamine receptor 1 cells in the prefrontal cortex and corticotropin-releasing factor cells in the hypothalamus. Researchers demonstrated that this effect works to inhibit the overactivity of anxiety-related cells caused by stress, opening new avenues for understanding how stress responses can be modulated through the interaction between the brain's reward and stress response systems.
