When we are stressed, we binge. I for one will look for food to fill my stomach when I am stressed. I ussually gain weight when I am stressed. So if you must stuff your your stomach to feel better, opt for food rich in tryptophan, as these help produce serotonin in the brain, a hormone that lightens your mood. The great news, chocolate is on the list. Also high in tryptophan are bananas and milk.
How we feel on the inside could be affecting how we look on the outside.
Stress, depression and anxiety increase our skin, hair or nail problems.
Stress can manifest itself on one's appearance in many ways, but primarily by making the skin more sensitive and more reactive.
Stress has been shown been shown to impair skin barrier function and dehydrate the skin — allowing more irritants, allergens, and infectious agents to penetrate the skin and cause problems.
Patients under stress also tend to neglect or abuse their skin. They often lack the energy and motivation to adhere to their skin care regimens, and there also might be signs of stress-related behaviors — such as scratching, pulling or rubbing — that can exacerbate problems.
When dermatologists treat both the skin and stress, the skin often clears more quickly and completely as the influences of stress are diminished. This, in turn, can help decrease a patient's overall anxiety level, and the patient may start to feel better about how they look and how they feel emotionally.
So try to relax to enjoy beautiful skin.
If you are stress try to enjoy some relaxing music or do some light excercise.
