Beat the Bulge with Snackergy Snacks and Other Stress Relieving Techniques
One common reason for snacking is an overload of stress. Many people are considered “stress snackers” as the habit is an attempt to soothe the pressures of work, school, family, relationships, finances and other difficulties. No matter what type of stress, it can cause the body’s level of cortisol to rise which ultimately increases appetite.
Reducing stress is an important part of battling the bulge and achieving weight loss goals. These stress-relieving techniques can help you to combat it.
Regular exercise
Daily physical activity is a great way to help cope with stress as it helps increase levels of endorphins, which are often referred to as “happy hormones.”
Meditation or deep-breathing
Practicing meditation or deep-breathing techniques daily is highly effective in decreasing stress levels. It provides a better sense of well-being as well as overall health which can help you feel stronger and better able to resist unhealthy foods. Research has found that it can even help one to overcome binge eating.
Healthy snacking
When you get the urge to snack, remember that junk food can make matters worse by temporarily spiking blood sugar. One of the best things you can do is to remove foods like chips and candy from your home and office and instead satisfy those sweet or salty cravings with Snackergy snacks.
