Reducing stress can help you lose weight!
Every day we are seeing new studies come out on how reducing stress can improve health and prevent disease. Today another study shows that doing Yoga, which reduces stress, can lower IL-6, a chemical in the body that leads to inflammation. And inflammation is a major factor in weight gain, but also other conditions like cancer and heart disease.
Stress can cause an unhealthy increase of hormones in our body like cortisol and adrenalin. Like anxiety and depression, it can also make us reach out for comfort foods or other ‘feel good’ remedies like alcohol. This sets up a downward spiral of health and well being and leads to more inflammation.
Inflammation leads to altered insulin function, which combined with the tendency to do ‘emotional eating’ from stress – leads to getting fatter! Not what we want.
