Diet and Interoception

Diet and Interoception (Adult Population)

The CNP Diet and Interoception Research Category consolidates research exploring the interconnected relationship between dietary intake and interoception. To view each original study on the open internet, click “Original.” To view the CNP-written abstract summary, click “CNP Summary.” While only some of the CNP-written abstract summaries are available below for free, all abstract summaries are available to CNP members through the CNP Library Membership. Interoception is one of the six elements characterizing the field of Nutritional Psychology. Interoception plays a significant role in developing our understanding of the Diet-Mental Health Relationship (DMHR). Referred to as “the eighth sense,” Interoception is our perception of the internal physiological state of our body. Interoception pertains to the receiving, encoding, and representation of internal bodily signals in the brain, as well as their perception (Ceunen et al., 2016). Interoception encompasses the non-conscious bodily signals we experience, and our conscious perception of them. NP 110: Introduction to Nutritional Psychology Methods includes curriculum in Diet and Interoception.

  • Reviewed By CNP STAFF

Stevenson, Mahmut & Rooney (2015) examined whether there are individual differences in several aspects of and possible causes of ingestion-related interoception (ability to perceive internal bodily states) such as signals from the viscera, motivational states, affective reactions, as well as associated cognitions. Individual variation in almost all aspects of interoception was documented for hunger, fullness […]
