Reasons Stress Eating Is Harmful

By James Spann


People do not only eat to feel their stomach. Recent nutrition research has shown that emotional feeding is a big challenge that most people have to deal with today. Stress eating refers to taking food to fill negative emotions. Some of these feelings include sadness, loneliness, boredom and anger. The daily activities such as employment can trigger negative feelings that result to emotional eating.

Research has shown that people do not always turn to food because they are hunger. Some people turn to food as a source of comfort, reward or even to seek emotional relief. Feeding because one is done stress does not solve problems in fact it makes one feel worse. After one has taken the food the stressing issues remain and one feels guilty for doing it.

When people use food once in a while to celebrate, as a reward or pick up is okay, however if one eats with a view that it will make them feel better emotionally about a situation is bad. If you realize every time you go through a difficult situation you are allover food know that you are going through emotional feeding. Other situations that make one turn to food include: loneliness, boredom and fatigue. This habit is not healthy.

Taking food to overcome emotions will never work for anyone. One may enjoy it but the situation that evoked the negative emotions will still remain or even get worse. After taking it one feels bad than before; they feel bad that they have added calories and also overpowered by their eating habits. Often the end result is a feeling of guilty due to reckless eating and lack of will power to deal with their situation.

Stress has been proved to be a major challenge in weight loss. It is vital that people know proper ways of dealing with their problems. Most times when people do not know how to deal with their difficult situations they turn to overeating. Taking food recklessly interferes with efforts to maintain or cut down their weight.

Current nutrition research has exposed that one of the challenges that people are facing today is maintain their weight. People are aware of what they should eat to live healthy but unfortunately, daily situations affect their consumption patterns. Fatigue, financial constraints, unemployment, and relationship conflicts often cause stress which may affect what one eats.

When people are not aware of proper ways to deal with their emotions they often find themselves struggling to maintain their weight. Putting people on diet may easily fail because the logic assumes that lack of knowledge of good eating habits is the only cause of weight issues. Nutritional knowledge alone may not work especially when one is going through stressful situations.

People can adopt various measures to avoid eating due difficult situations. Some of these include building relationships, connecting with people, ensuring you engage in physical activities and taking time to relax
