THURSDAY, Aug. 31, 2017 (HealthDay News) -- Eating prompts the brain to release "feel good" hormones, known as endorphins, a new study shows.

Researchers found the regulation of these naturally occurring opioids, which can produce a sense of pleasure or euphoria, may help the body know when it's satisfied. On the flip side, overeating associated with the overstimulation of this system may contribute to obesity, the researchers noted.

I get that. Particularly after a long hard day a burger, fries, and soda is some great comfort food.

OTOH, alot of that craving that leads to obesity is the body screaming out for some good nutrition. When I'm eating right, I don't crave junk food.
