Stress causes overeating and excess weight

British nutritionists have identified five main reasons that can cause excess weight in the body based on practical research.

The habit of "eating your problems". This is a common "disease" that has affected many people. However, eating is not the best way to calm your nerves. The website lady.tochka.net recommends finding alternative methods of calming down, such as physical activity, such as aerobics or boxing (especially useful if you feel resentful towards your partner), walking or cleaning.

Stress and lack of sleep. Nutritionists believe that constant stress, insufficient rest and a constant "comatose" state of the body cause a protective reaction that manifests itself in the accumulation of excess weight.

The influence of the workplace.
