We’ve all been there — a tough day, and suddenly that bag of chips or box of sweets disappears. But stress doesn’t just mess with your mind… it changes how your body eats, digests, and functions.
🍽 How Stress Impacts Eating Habits:
Triggers Emotional Eating – You reach for comfort foods high in sugar, salt, and fat. Affects Hunger Hormones – Stress raises cortisol, making you feel hungrier even when you’re not. Speeds Up or Slows Down Eating – Some eat too fast, others skip meals altogether. Weakens Digestion – Stress diverts blood from your digestive system, leading to bloating or discomfort.
🌀 Day-to-Day Life Effects:
Low energy & fatigue 😴 Poor concentration & mood swings Sleep disturbances Weakened immunity
💡 Stress-Healthy Tips:
Practice deep breathing or meditation for 5 minutes daily. Keep healthy snacks like nuts, fruits, or yogurt handy. Stay hydrated — dehydration can worsen stress. Move your body: even a 10-minute walk helps.
🌿 Remember, a calm mind supports a healthy body — and healthy eating starts from within.
