Stress & Emotional Eating 0

Posted on March 21, 2009 by admin

Your body gets its nutrients from food you eat, but at times, you go overboard with eating habits and it can result in gaining weight. One issue with over eating is emotional eating.

The problem of emotional eating may have various causes, but all begins in the mind. There may be various other factors contributing towards it, but stress takes its toll on your life. When your defenses are compromised your health takes a hit and so do your emotions.

Since, everyone has good days and bad days, dealing with the bad ones brings emotional eating into play. People who turn to food for comfort find a coping mechanism that won’t judge them, hurt them or tell them “no.” To complicate the issue, eating pleasurable foods can stimulate the release of endorphins just like exercise. So, after you eat, you feel better. For emotional eaters, food relieves stress. But, in fact, this is just liking hiding behind the food instead of seeking solutions to the problems.
