Angry and sad expression is part of the emotions. To be able to control the emotions, then the required energy from food. In the body, food in the form of carbohydrates will be broken down into blood sugar. Subsequent blood sugar will be burned into energy for the body's metabolic processes.
Influence of feeding activities towards decision-making have been examined by a Princeton University researcher. The study explains that the decision issued by 1,112 judge have to do against the activity of eating. The penalty decision made after breakfast or lunch break will cause 65% of the suspects get a light penalty decision. When explained in detail, giving a light sentence down from 65% (after breakfast) to zero (before lunch), and ride back to 65% (after lunch). Although the relationship between the activity of eating and he had made the decision of mild punishment statistically closely connected, but researchers have not been able to ascertain whether these trends can be manipulated with a short break and will return the the tendency of judges to give verdict that the mild punishment.
Similar research conducted by Bushman from the Ohio State University. Scientists test whether blood sugar levels in the body will affect a person's emotional control. They measure sugar levels 107 couples who have been married for 12 years. The couple asked to plug a needle to the doll and pressing the speaker. The more angry the couples then would be the greater number of needles that are plugged and the longer the speaker button is pressed. The results, published in the journal pnas (Proceedings of the National Academiy of Sciences of the USA) showed that the lower the sugar levels (the hunger) then the greater number of needles that are plugged and the longer the speaker button is pressed. Although not significant, women stuck needles more than men when their blood sugar levels low (hungry). The results of this research can be used to restrict a person's anger with the way give it food as a source of self control.
So, if your friends and your partner is grumpy, it may draw its blood sugar levels are low. The solution? Bring him a meal.
