The term "food addiction" describes a compulsive drive to eat specific types of foods, even when one is not hungry. It has a significant impact on one's physical and emotional health. This addiction leads one to lose control over eating habits and continue excess consumption of food without worrying about the health consequences.
Listen to this podcast by Dr. Bunmi Aboaba who discusses the concept of food addiction in detail and tells us how it impacts one's overall health.
