\nDo you know what it means?<\/p>\n

Whether you know it or not, you have most likely experienced it at least once in your life.<\/p>\n

The term is Japanese, it means, literally lonely mouth<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Romanticism aside, what it indicates isn’t exactly a recommendable gesture: eating without actually feeling hungry.<\/p>\n

Or nibbling<\/em>, or munching<\/em>, or whatever verb you can think of.<\/p>\n

We eat out of boredom: a behavior that falls within the broader category of emotional eating<\/em>, i.e. ingesting food, often anything but healthy, as a reaction to an emotionally stressful situation (and boredom can certainly be so).<\/p>\n

But why? A study (Eaten up by boredom: consuming food to escape awareness of the bored self<\/a>, published in “Frontiers of Psychology” in 2015) suggests that:
\n“Unhealthy behaviour may draw attention away from the threatening, self-focused, existential experience that boredom entails”.<\/p>\n

Let’s call it for what it is: a eating disorder<\/em>. It can lead to obesity, cardiovascular disease, and negatively affect mental health.<\/p>\n

The solution? Well, as in all similar cases, it’s about talking to a specialist.<\/p>\n

And let’s not take the problem lightly.<\/p>\n

And maybe, if we’re really bored and can’t keep our mouths shut, nibble on a carrot, a cucumber or some fennel….<\/p>\n
