Stress is the emotional experience such as conflict that occurs within a person when faced with threats or excessive expectations, and the resulting behavioral and physiological reactions. When a person encounters stress, the body develops a positive coping response, which we call the stress response, and this acute stress response is a protective effect on the body. However, if a person undergoes prolonged stress and is chronically stressed, it can lead to metabolic disorders such as cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes, and obesity. This leads some to wonder how excessive stress produces obesity? This kind of stress obesity how to solve it? We will make a brief introduction for this problem today. We all know that obesity and metabolic disorders have a genetic predisposition, but environmental and social factors also have an important influence on food or energy consumption. Stress, so to speak, may influence metabolic and ingestive behavior, thus promoting the onset and development of obesity. In fact, psychological stress, work stress, and reduced sleep and obesity, especially abdominal obesity, are inevitably linked. In an acute stress response, the body’s endocrine system produces a hormone called glucocorticoid through a series of stimulus responses. This glucocorticoid can mobilize the body to produce energy to stress, so that our breathing heart rate are increased. At the same time, the endocrine system will make corresponding adjustments to prevent excessive production of glucocorticoids to ensure that the body maintains a stable internal environment. However, if the stress is prolonged, the endocrine system will produce a lasting physiological change to cope with the excessive stress load and change the body’s metabolism. For example, excessive glucocorticoids can promote appetite and cause obesity; for example, gastric growth hormone (Ghrelin), a hormone produced by the gastrointestinal tract, which has the unique ability to promote food intake, in addition, glucocorticoids also promote the synergistic effect of other hormones such as insulin, making the body gain weight, especially causing the accumulation of abdominal fat. It is worth mentioning that people’s psychological need for food in times of stress should not be ignored. There are psychological aspects of the study shows that there are a variety of reasons for the desire for food under chronic stress. The first is irregular life and diet, meal times are not fixed, overeating; the second is anxiety and insomnia, drinking a lot of coffee, which can promote appetite; the third is the lack of activity and exercise, which is not conducive to fat consumption; the fourth is the pleasure generated by eating good food can relieve stress, which leads some people to adopt eating as a way to vent stress, and even over-reliance on food to cause obesity. So, there is no relationship between the obesity produced by excessive stress and gender and age? Current evidence suggests that there is no gender difference in stress-related obesity in humans, but there are also data suggesting that women are more likely to perceive the same event as stress, and that when faced with stress, women are more likely to relieve stress by consuming a diet high in sugar and fat or social support such as confiding, while men tend to respond to stress more often through action (such as fighting or avoiding), so that chronic stress obesity is higher in women relative to men. In addition, the pressure faced by different age groups is different, people’s experience and handling way is also different, so obesity in different age groups will also have different performance. How to alleviate the obesity produced by the pressure, first of all, we must solve the problem from the root, regular diet, relax, use healthy way to vent the pressure, such as participate in physical exercise, cultivate hobbies, give yourself positive psychological suggestion, adjust the mental state, also can consult a psychologist. Monitoring weight and physical health, while relieving stress, and actively preventing the development of obesity and other metabolic diseases is the most important.
