5 Ways To Beat Stress Fat

Many of us will agree with the fact that stress, for most people, is almost a lifestyle. Most people would recognize and acknowledge the fact that stress is very unhealthy, but might find it surprising to learn that it could also lead to weight gain. Research has shown that even with healthy diets and consistent exercise, chronic stress hinders weight loss.

Every time you undergo so much stress, the brain signals to the cells in your body, triggering a burst of adrenaline and cortisol, which would cause the body to recharge stored energy—even if you haven’t used so much calories. The amount of cortisol released per instance, depends on ow much stress you were under. This process may also lead to hunger.

To beat this process, and prevent fat from lead to weight gain, or making weight loss more difficult, read on to see five easy tips for dealing with stress fat.
