When you’re stressed, do you grab a bag of chips or a tub of ice cream? Binge eating is an easy way of coping with stress for many. But have you ever wondered what happens in our bodies when stressed? How does it manage it? Our bodies need a variety of hormones to keep us healthy and manage stress. One such hormone that does that is cortisol.

This matters because elevated cortisol levels can damage your body slowly and permanently. It can cause increased blood glucose levels, high blood pressure, weak muscles, fragile bones, and excess fat deposits around the belly.
