Summary
In Jha`s article “Overeating by obese people is like drug addiction, brain research finds” the author states that the desire to overeat directly from the part of brain connected to emotional state. This study is done with “the National Academy of Sciences.” The research was started from the hypothesis “which part of brain and stomach.” Twenty volunteers who had obesities had had gastric stimulators for two years. This gastric stimulator decreased volunteers` desire to eat 21% less than when the stimulator did not work. Those new outcomes can be very important booster for decreasing the number of people with the obesity.
Reaction
Nowadays, there are a lot of obese people you can they see. I know that they haven`t wanted to be fat, but they made it. It is depends on their willing like giving smoking up. Even if they don`t want to be a fat people, they cannot stop overeating. The most important thing is they know if people are fat, it will be caused serious diseases. But they cannot stop because their brain wants to be full their stomach. In fact obese people don`t think about losing weight. Actually, in my case I think eating too much because I think when I have too much stressful, I have eating too much but in this article says that it is likes drug addiction. Also, I have eating much sweet things such as soft drink, soda drink, candy, and snack. It would be caused dangerous diseases in my body. So, we should have good eating habit.
