Lonely women crave sugary treats because they act like emotional painkillers, according to a new study.
Their findings highlight the 'vicious cycle between unhealthy eating and negative mental symptoms.'
When people are alone or lonely, it impacts more than how they are feeling; they underreport what they eat, their desire to eat, and their cravings, especially for unhealthy foods.
Results showed socially isolated women had higher body fat levels, a worse diet, greater cravings, and more uncontrolled eating patterns.
