Stress negatively affects both physical and mental health of a person.
In this article, we will tell you what causes changes in weight.
Why do people lose weight or gain weight during stress
Stress is a normal reaction to everyday stress or unusual life circumstances.
However, chronic stress can cause physiological changes in the body. For example, weight gain or loss.
For some people, weight changes can further contribute to stress, leading to a vicious cycle.
Weight gain may be associated with increased levels of the stress hormone cortisone, as well as ghrelin, the hunger hormone.
The fact is that they stimulate appetite and enhance the absorption of fat and sugar.
Therefore, during times of stress, appetite may increase.
However, it also happens the other way around.
When adrenaline is produced in large quantities, this hormone, on the contrary, dulls appetite.
This is logical, because when the body is in danger, it has no time to eat.
Therefore, stress can affect a person's appetite and weight.
This is a normal reaction. However, the best thing is to avoid stress using various relaxation techniques.
