Have you ever felt hungry after an argument? Research in the journal Psychological Science found the more stress we feel, the higher our levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin! And when we’re stressed, we tend to reach for sugary, high-fat treats, which drastically raises our risk for depression and weight gain. The good news? Researchers say just KNOWING this can happen can boost our health. Because while we can’t change how our body reacts to stress, we can change the foods we have on hand. That way, you’ll be less likely to blow your diet after your next blowup argument.

A recent study in the journal Psychological Science found a direct link between our relationship stress and an appetite-regulating hormone called ghrelin. Basically, the more stress we feel, the hungrier we get! And unfortunately, lots of studies have shown that when we’re stressed out, we’re more likely to reach for high-fat, high-sugar treats, than something healthy… which significantly raises our risk for weight gain and depression. The good news? Researchers say just KNOWING about this reaction can help us stay healthy. Because while we can’t change how our body reacts to stress, we can change the foods we keep on hand. So, stock up on more fruits and vegetables, or Greek yogurt, than chips and ice cream! That way, you’re less likely to blow your diet the next time you and your partner argue.

Research in Psychological Science found that as our stress levels rise, our body produces more of the appetite-regulating hormone ghrelin, which boosts hunger. And lots of studies have shown when we’re stressed out, we’re more likely to reach for high-fat, high-sugar treats, than something healthy…… which significantly raises our risk for weight gain and depression. And while we can’t change how our body reacts to stress, we can change the foods we keep on hand. So, stock up on more vegetables and Greek yogurt, instead of chips and ice cream! That way, you’re less likely to blow your diet after your next argument.
