“SENSES ARE NOT BEING SATISFIED”

In the seminar where there was emphasized the importance of colors and presentation in nutrition, the important factors that affect people's food choices such as sensory and emotional hunger Asst. Prof. Dietician Gizem Köse expressed that she tried to explain students that there are different approaches outside of the diet.

Dietitian Köse continued:
“As the food industry produces delicious products, the senses can no longer be satisfied and the desire to eat as well as the feeding of these senses is increasing. The main reason for inaccurate relations with food relies on not being aware of sensual eating”.
