Stress & Weight Management - The Connection In Modern Day

Stress & Weight Management - The Connection In Modern Day

Stress Is Natural -

  It is the body’s response to stimuli (internal or external) called stressor in order to maintain homeostasis (equilibrium). It is the natural instinct built in humans. For example when we sense danger, our body responds by releasing hormones preparing itself for actions like running or fighting. This is known as fight or flight response. Either we stand up and fight or we run away from our problems. This bodily response is however not as relevant in the present day, as the situations we face are different from the ones early man used to face.

  The spectrum of stress creators has increased in the modern era, but the body still primarily reacts to most stress in the same way as it used to thousands of years ago. We are no longer that human being who used to run and fight to hunt food. Our stressors are less physical and more mental. Be it mental stress or physical stress, our body’s responses are similar and have an affect on your physical health.

Obesity A Common Health Issue -

  Obesity, one of the most common found health issues have been closely linked to stress. Cortisol, a hormone which is released in excess under stress, plays an important role in fat storage and energy use in the human body. Cortisol is also known to increase appetite and may induce sugar cravings, when in excessive levels.

  Serotonin is the body's feel-good chemical. Carbohydrates intake raises the body’s serotonin levels. This is why, people under stress choose to eat carbohydrate rich food and very often the carbohydrates that people choose are laden with fat, like muffins, pastries, doughnuts & cookies.

  

Under Stress, often blood pressure rises and heart rate increases. The immune system and digestive system on other hand are slowed down by the body. The cravings for unhealthy food and ineffectiveness of digestive system on a regular basis, results in accumulation of undigested fat and toxins in your body. This extra fat then starts to show up around your belly.
