The Origin of Our Cravings
Running time: 50 minutes
If we all know how to eat healthier, then why don't we?
Why do we sometimes reach for the refrigerator door when we're not really hungry?
What are the origins of life-long food cravings, patterns, and preferences?
How can we transform destructive eating patterns and become free of compulsive eating?
What can be done to form healthier habits for life in children?
In this intriguing documentary, Valya interviews health experts, authors, teachers, psychologists, children, and people on the street.
The second half of this film looks at the reasons why children, loved ones, and friends often respond to diet-related advice with resistance and even defiance. This section is dedicated to working with the defensive reaction, and communicating in a kind, loving manner that supports positive growth and change.
