By now you should be informed about how stress affects many aspects of your life; physical performance, mood, sleeping difficulties, etc. There are studies that have discovered the relevance of stress in weight loss. Even when they are following the instructions given to them to the letter and carrying out an adequate diet. It has been proven that the psychological effects of stress can reverse all types of effects generated by good habits and healthy eating. This could solve many cases of people who cannot lose weight. The study was carried out at the Ohio State Wexner Medial Center, where they gathered 58 women. They were offered two types of food. One made with palm oil (saturated fat) and the other with sunflower seed oil (monosaturated fat). They were then asked to complete a stress questionnaire. Once the blood of the participants was examined, an increase in inflammation in the body as well as fatty formations in the arteries was detected in those who ate palm oil. But the surprising thing is that those who ate sunflower seed oil and who were exposed to stress levels the previous day, presented the same signs. The increase in stress turned out to be very similar between both groups. Even those women who were not presented with stressful situations. Stress definitely has a lot to do with the weight loss process. It is necessary to take time and treat this condition, change rest habits, such as sleeping 8 hours at least, taking breaks in times of severe tension. Just control your temper and stay as relaxed as possible. A good diet can also help you keep those stress levels in place. You can eat foods like:
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Avocado
- Broccoli
- Cauliflower
- Dark chocolate (70% coca)
- Seeds and nuts Do daily monitoring and analyze how you feel, what changes you notice in your daily life, what situations of the day you are exposed to that increase your stress. Identify all these factors and try to make a change. There are times when we do not pay attention to these types of details and they turn out to cause very severe consequences. Take care of your body!
