In today’s fast world, everybody’s day is full of stress and anxiety. The work is so much that we are unable to manage the time and work. This in turn causes stress and anxiety. Everyone has their own way of dealing with stress, using different defence mechanisms or coping strategies. One among these coping techniques is: stress eating. This means that when a person is stressed they tend to eat more than their body requires or eat just to cope with the stress. It can lead to health problems like obesity. Thus, it is essential to get rid of this bad habit. Here are some ways you can cope with it:
1. Chewing Gum: The first step you could take is buying yourself some gum. Whenever you feel the urge to eat in a stressful situation, you could chew a gum. This would prevent you from hogging on unhealthy food and gaining unnecessary weight. Chewing gum further helps in burning calories.
2. Avoid Caffeinated Drinks: Sure, coffee tastes good but it is actually increasing your stress and anxiety. Wondering how? It is because caffeine leads to a greater release of adrenaline in the body which increase the stress levels. Thus, avoid a soda can and consume some tea to calm your nerves instead.
3. Eat That Chilly: Spicy food can actually be useful in preventing binge eating. This is because spicy things especially peppers can make us full real soon, thereby, eliminating the urge to eat extra. The body takes time to process the heat from spicy food and make us feel less hungry.
4. Aroma Therapy: can help in reducing your appetite, especially mint aroma. So when you feel stressed next time, inhale some mint aroma instead of eating a burger.
