Due to constant nervous tension, not only health but also figure can suffer.
However, some foods can worsen the condition and cause stress.
Endocrinologist Florence Comite spoke in more detail about this, as reported by ETNT journalists.
She noted that high cortisol levels can have a negative impact on sugar metabolism.
This in turn leads to the body beginning to store energy in the form of fat.
In addition, it is noted that overeating is also possible against the background of stress.
However, some foods can make feelings of stress worse.
Dr Kelly Middleton explained that certain foods can then lead to overeating due to a sharp rise in cortisol levels and an increase in insulin.
Croissants and muffins were named among such products.
The specialist noted that they contain sugar, refined carbohydrates and fats.
It is emphasized that this in turn can aggravate stress by causing a surge in cortisol.
Dr. Barbara Kowalenko reported that coffee can also increase levels of stress hormones.
In addition, this drink can cause anxiety and increase cravings for sweets and carbohydrates.
Among the foods that can increase stress and anxiety were chips, pretzels, cookies and other highly processed foods. The same applies to sugary soda.
