When your engine gets revved up from mental and emotional stress, cortisol releases carbs into the blood stream, you get a sugar spike, insulin scream and energy crash that make you crave the junk that starts the cycle all over again.
The excess sugar usually converts to fat or cholesterol which moves you toward being overweight, diabetes, high cholesterol . . . all the stuff that’s taking a toll on our society’s health and your wallet.
So what can you do to manage and avoid stress altogether?
One way to take control of the stress in your life is through physical activity. Being active can boost your feel-good endorphins and distract you from daily worries.
