Psychotherapist Yelena Kunakovskaya explains: the brain seeks energy, not health.
The tendency towards harmful and high-calorie foods stems from ancient survival mechanisms.
The body prioritizes energy over food quality. Fat and sugar are considered "superfuel" for the brain.
Bitter tastes in vegetables signal potential danger or toxins, so the body remains cautious.
The brain still associates high-calorie foods with safety and energy reserves.
