Welcome to my blog. Gluttony is one habit that has taken its toll on many, given the array of overindulgence they exhibit. But let's get to know about this a little more, given the guidelines below.

Explain gluttony and how a person with such behaviours can be identified.

Like it was stated above, gluttony is sim
ply an act of unconscious addiction to consume substances. This desire to consume food and drink in a manner that is likely for an ideal intake. It is lacking the right sense of control over what we take.

Gluttony, in most cases, has become a source of concern as affected individuals are found to consume large portions of meals even without being hungry. This usually goes with blatant negligence to the health concerns this might cause, like obesity and digestive disorders.

Sometimes, because of the fear of being seen, gluttonous fellows hide to consume their meals and drinks. This is because of what they may be doing or are obsessed with. We can still find them eating because of their emotional concerns. This may include stressful outings, sadness, or anxiety.

Identifying gluttonous behaviours is an opportunity to remedy this abnormality by seeking help and support. In doing so, we could observe these people from. The overconsumption of drinks and food can even give them discomfort.

Through their visible and physical stature. We could see people in this category with health conditions from their health gains. This also tends to place them on a withdrawal path where they tend to shy away from the public arena because of unnecessary eating habits.

Do you think a gluttonous person can be likened to just food and drinks? Explain.

While gluttony is primarily related to the consumption of food and drinks in an unlikely manner, this does not limit its broader meaning to other aspects of human indulgence. We can also liken it to the desire to own material needs in an uncontrollable manner that sometimes leads to indebtedness and theft.

Like I stated above, people have this stress and emotional strain mechanism of staying off pressure through the consumption of substances. In most cases, this form of addiction leads to arms begging to stay afloat to satisfy this urge. Sometimes this may be from cultural or social gatherings where some norms demand that eating and drinking are carried out uncontrollably.

What is your view of this? Do you think it's a natural situation or something one can manage or control? Tell us.

Gluttony can be observed to emanate from natural causes as well as self-induced behavioral patterns. It is natural when we see circumstances like an environmental surplus of consumables within the environment where there is a potential tendency of abuse. However, where people also find available substances as a means to combat stress and anxiety, this could naturally lead to gluttonous behavior.

Notwithstanding, it can be managed. Self-control and discipline are the therapy towards achieving moderation. This will help bring caution to what we eat, which sometimes harms our health. Education has played a vital role in positioning us rightly on choosing what to eat, how to eat, and when to eat.

Lastly, we cannot forget the services of support systems like therapists and nutritionists. These are personnel who are qualified to handle our eating patterns.

What advice do you have for people who find themselves in such a condition?

Encourage this category of persons to be mindful of what they consume. And in what quantities they ingest. No matter how tasty or delicious a meal is, moderation should always be the watchword. In some cases, the use of measuring plates is ideal for ensuring a size.

Taking note of all triggers that make us consume in excess. Noting this would help give direction on how to handle this thereafter, as solutions would be allocated where necessary.

Ensuring meals are always balanced by considering all classes of food and in moderation. Fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains are usually ideal for satisfaction. Serving them on smaller and larger plates would reduce our quest for more.

Services of a support system are also advisable. Nutritionists and therapists are the best bet while handling concerns of this nature. We have to add exercise to our core plans.

Conclusion

In handling incidences of gluttony, we have to be patient enough as this habitual change would take a little time. It is usually a deliberate act to reverse this behavioural trend.
