Stress and weight gain

Stress can have a profound impact on our bodies, chronic stress can lead to changes in eating habits and increased cravings for unhealthy foods, which can ultimately result in weight gain. This is largely due to the body’s response to stress, which involves the release of hormones (cortisol). These hormones can stimulate the appetite and make us more likely to reach for high-fat, high-sugar foods (www.thesilhouetteclinic.com).

Dr. Jean-Michel Lecerf, medical Director of the Longevity Health Prevention Centre at the Pasteur Institute in Lille, explains what is the link between stress and weight gain, what are the mechanisms involved and how can one lose weight.
