We've learned that a little stress is good for our bodies, but a lot of stress isn't. So, during times of physical, mental or emotional stress, our bodies naturally combat the effects by producing a chemical hormone called cortisol. Small amounts of cortisol are needed to control carbohydrate metabolism, inflammation and cardiovascular function, but too much cortisol for too long can have a negative effect. Preliminary studies suggest that elevated cortisol levels may be associated with increased appetite and weight gain. Regular exercise is one of the best ways to maintain healthy stress levels.
There is solid evidence that a sedentary, inactive lifestyle, combined with a diet of high fat, processed and sugar-filled foods is contributing to the epidemic of obesity in the U.S. and worldwide. But researches have found that the causes of being obese or overweight are not simply the result of overeating or lack of physical activity. Excessive and prolonged stress can cause the body to produce too much cortisol which can play a role in craving "comfort" foods, overeating, feeling fatigued, and storing excess body fat.
