Let’s Talk How Stress Affects the Body

Stress is detrimental to both your body and your mind. When you are mentally stressed, it leads to physical stress. When you are physically stressed, it leads to additional mental stress. A harmful cycle that can be difficult to break.

Stress can also lead to stress eating, here’s why:

• we need to think of our brains as muscles
• when we over-work a muscle we need to refuel and one way to refuel is to eat
• do we need food or are we just ‘coping’

How can we curb our stress eating?  Try these:

• AN 8-MIN WORKOUT
• STRETCHING SESSION
• These will help prevent stress eating because it will force your body to use stored energy and in turn reduce food cravings- you may even lose weight!

Be FIT. Be Productive. Be Jōbu.
