82% of Brits recognise that emotional well-being is the key to achieving a healthy weight
A recent survey[1] by Bach™ Original Flower Remedies found that half of Brits have over indulged (e.g. over eaten) after an emotional experience, beating even America (48%) when it comes to turning to food for comfort. Comfort eaters use food as the answer to break ups, bad days, family dramas and commuting stress, but the fix is temporary and it often can lead to more serious problems including obesity and psychological dependency.
But the vicious cycle can be broken with the help of Bach Original Flower Remedies. Back in the 1930s a forward thinking doctor, Dr Edward Bach, discovered 38 flower remedies that can help us when we need to a little extra encouragement and support to blossom. The remedies help us manage our emotions, balancing negative thoughts and feelings, and allowing us to find our hidden strengths and potentials.
Here are our remedy suggestions to help break bad eating habits:
