You might think that the main reason for excess weight is overeating. But this is not entirely true.

The point is that you first need to understand why exactly a person cannot get enough, he is drawn to unhealthy food, for example, fast food or sweets.

As nutritionist Natalia Koreneva noted in a conversation with representatives of the publication " Gazeta.Ru ", most often the problem lies in the stress that a woman or man constantly experiences.

Stress is considered a cause of eating problems.

A person tries to “eat away” problems, which leads not only to extra pounds, but also to illness.

As a result, cortisol (the stress hormone) only increases.

Koreneva recommended improving sleep.

A person should always get enough sleep, as this helps reduce the impact of stress on the body. Also, melatonin (this hormone is an antagonist of cortisol) improves immunity, reduces the risk of problems with blood pressure and excess weight.
