Groundbreaking research discovers highly stressed people are more apt to suffer health-related consequences of a poor diet.
In the study, University of California, San Francisco researchers determined that highly stressed people who eat a lot of high-fat, high-sugar food are more prone to metabolic illness than low-stress people who eat the same amount of unhealthy food...
... “Many people think a calorie is a calorie, but this study suggests that two women who eat the same thing could have different metabolic responses based on their level of stress. There appears to be a stress pathway that works through diet — for example, it could be similar to what we see in animals, where fat cells grow faster in response to junk food when the body is chronically stressed” said Kirstin Aschbacher, Ph.D., lead author.
