We usually don't think of the real reason why we eat. We feel the hunger pangs and we eat to stop the pain.

We even feel good to eat.

Eating our favorite food makes us happy.

The real reason why we eat, is to give the body nutrition that it needs to continue surviving. When we feel the hunger pangs  in our stomach, it is actually the body asking for nutrition to help build more cells, repair damage, keep the heart, liver, kidneys and other organs functioning.
