~RESEARCH + PRECEDENT STUDIES~

RESEARCH: TREATING FOOD ADDICTION



Since my chosen topic is about FOOD ADDICTION, I decided to promote health care, showing ways on reducing the symptom. Briefly, health care is a treatment preventing illnesses. From my research, food addicts seem to have addictions on the wrong kinds of food.



Like other addictions, there are ways to cure this symptom, just depends whether the person is willing to do it. Also, it is important for one to analyze themselves before start making changes.
Also, you should have some support from family members, friends or better yet, a physician before you attempt on doing this changes.
