My Bariatric Solutions Article Explains Link
Between Stress And Weight Gain
My Bariatric Solutions, an
authority on bariatric surgery
and weight loss, has published
an article detailing how stress
negatively affects the body.
Ongoing high levels of stress
can cause hormonal changes
resulting in detrimental
chemical changes in the
body.
Over 30 different hormones
including epinephrine and
cortisol are sent through the
body during times of stress.
Persistent high levels of
epinephrine can cause damage
to blood vessels and arteries,
increase blood pressure, and
raise the risk of heart attacks
and stroke.
While in the short term the
epinephrine helps you feel less
hungry, when the effects wear
off, cortisol is released signaling
the body to eat.
Rising cortisol levels
increase blood glucose that
in turn cause insulin levels to
rise.
Prolonged elevation of cortisol
levels contribute to increased
appetite, a build-up of fat tissue,
and weight gain due to
increased storage of unused
nutrients as fat.
Increased fat releases more
chemicals that trigger
inflammation, thereby
increasing the likelihood of
developing heart disease and
diabetes.
Prolonged stress causes
surges of epinephrine which
can make one feel fidgety or
"wired up," which can lead to
emotional eating as way to
calm down.
The body can recognize extra
weight as normal and get
comfortable at that weight, making it
even harder to lose weight. So,
keep stress under control, eat
healthy, exercise regularly, and get
plenty of sleep.
