Why We Crave Junk Food When We're Stressed and What to Do About It
Why do we crave junk food when we're stressed and what can we do about it? Choosing healthy foods can feel like a losing battle when we're stressed out, causing us to crave fatty, sugary comfort foods. Our hormones and emotions spiral out of control.
The root of the issue can be traced back to chronic stress. The good news is, you can train your nervous system to access wise decision-making with simple, daily mini-relaxations, e.g., one conscious breath per hour along with a calming phrase.
