Did you know that your genes might directly influence your eating habits? It’s absolutely true! While we all have our own unique preferences, our genetic makeup plays a significant role in what we crave and when we crave it.
Let’s dive into a few genes that might be affecting your appetite:
- TAS2R38
This gene is often referred to as the “bitter” tasting gene. People with a heightened sensitivity to this gene might find themselves steering clear of foods with a bitter taste, such as kale, broccoli, and brussel sprouts.
- FAAH
If you find yourself reaching for snacks more often than you’d like, your FAAH gene might be to blame. This gene is associated with a propensity to snack more.
- DRD2
This gene is linked to a tendency to eat for pleasure rather than just sustenance. People with a variant of this gene might find themselves eating to soothe or comfort themselves, even when they’re not hungry.
- CLOCK
Are you a night owl who often finds yourself snacking late at night? Your CLOCK gene might be the culprit. This gene is associated with regulating your body’s internal clock, and it can influence when you feel hungry.
So, what can you do about it? Know your DNA. By learning more about your genetics, you can make more informed choices about your diet.
