Stress can trigger the "flight or fight" response. I the days of the caveman when the response was triggered a rush of adrenaline would occur allowing the caveman to have enough energy to fight for his life or enough quickness to run for his life. After that event cortisol would be released inducing a hunger so that the caveman would eat to replenish the calories he burned during the event. Nowadays this type of stress is not necessary to our daily life and can adversely affect our health if we don’t stay on top of it. Many that are stressed use food to make themselves feel better. Find ways to reduce your stress, relax and eat well.
