We love food!
Do you know your feeling when you put your favorite food in your mouth? When you think: Man, I love this stuff! That feeling translates the visceral love that binds us to our beloved foods. The day to celebrate this love story has arrived. It is September 9th: National I Love Food day! Whether you prefer sweets or savory things, this is the perfect day to indulge in a few sins. Indeed, good food is the font of authentic, real happiness. As you might know, eating prompts the brain to release endorphins, the "feel good" hormones!
Why do we love food?
Many of us have a "special" relationship with food. As the old saying goes, some people eat to live, and some people live to eat! Science tells us that enjoying food is more than just a basic survival instinct. Food nutrients, taste, and flavor, can promote the production of "feel-good" chemicals, like serotonin and dopamine.
Eat it with love
The important thing is to eat with love! Food is so crucial to Italians that it is frequently used as a symbol to express love and care. In Italy, it is all about food: our gastronomy is one of the richest in the world. But not only that. The truth is that Italians simply love to express love through food. As someone said: There is no love franker than the love of food. That's why this day is perfect for us!
