Manage stress

You're not alone if you find yourself thinking about or grabbing for certain foods when you're stressed. Many studies have connected stress to increased food cravings.

For example, a 2015 research of 619 participants indicated that chronic stress affects food cravings considerably and directly. This might be due to the fact that chronic stress affects bodily systems and hormone levels that affect hunger. Chronic stress has also been linked to an increased risk of being overweight or obese. If you're anxious, try some of the stress-relieving methods to help you relax and get rid of some of your cravings. Also, don't be afraid to ask a health care expert for assistance or advice.
