(Detroit.CityRegions.Com, December 03, 2015 ) Taylor, MI -- December 5th is National Comfort Food Day. Comfort food is traditional food which provides a nostalgic or sentimental feeling and is usually high in carbohydrates and simple to prepare. The nostalgic element of comfort food may be specific to either the individual or a specific culture.
The term comfort food has been traced back to 1966, when the Palm Beach Post used it in a story: "Adults, when under severe emotional stress, turn to what could be called ‘comfort food'—food associated with the security of childhood, like mother's poached egg or famous chicken soup. In other words, certain foods promise solace as much as they do fuel.
Comfort food is broadly defined as anything that a person uses to feel better. The term calls some specific things to mind: ice cream, mashed potatoes, French fries, and other simple, often indulgent meals or snacks. Unfortunately the consumption of comfort food is not only a comfort during emotional stress but also a key contributor to the epidemic of obesity. In men the consumption of comfort food is triggered by positive emotions and in women by negative ones. The stress effect is particularly pronounced among college-aged women with only 33% reporting healthy eating choices during times of emotional stress.
For some, especially in the winter, comfort food includes a steaming cup of tea. To celebrate National Comfort Food Day, Grama's Kitchen offers a set of 5 strawberry design tea strainers at a 20 % discount from Amazon for a limited time while supplies last. Grama's Kitchen provides a risk-free, no questions asked, satisfaction money-back guarantee.
