Getting fat after the age of 25 is the real culprit, stress obesity

It is said that most of the younger generation develop stress obesity. Among them, men are after the age of 30 and women are around the age of 25. Women tend to develop stress obesity at a younger age than men. At this time, for women, the environment such as employment, marriage, and childbirth has changed greatly, and they are also in a period of extreme psychological fluctuations. In addition, women have physiological cycles, which can easily lead to mental instability due to hormone balance and are particularly prone to feeling stress. In a modern society where there is too much stress, it can be said that properly handling stress is the key to successful weight loss.

Stress-type obesity is divided into three stages

When we feel stress, in order to "fight" it, our sympathetic nerves initially become active and secrete an adrenal cortical hormone called "catecholamine", which enhances appetite. However, because metabolism will also increase at the same time, it can be said that the initial intermittent stress will not make you significantly fat. If measures are taken, you can still hold your body.

Stress obesity is easy to form, which is the second stage of chronic stress. Resistance to stress increases, the parasympathetic nerves are in the ascendant, and the body switches to cumulative mode. Affected by excessive secretion of adrenal cortical hormones, if you accidentally eat too much, it will be used as body fat and gradually saved. Moreover, when it reaches the third stage of excessive stress, it will often cause damage to the body. To prevent stress obesity and healthy weight loss, we must have a good understanding of the "enemy" of stress obesity.

Phase 1 Warning Period: Easy to lose weight

The sympathetic nerve becomes active and secretes catecholamines and norepinephrine, which have an appetite-enhancing effect. However, due to stress, the secretion of gastric acid is blocked. We usually feel that we have no appetite to eat. In addition, our metabolism also increases, and even if we eat, we will be in a state where it is difficult to become obese.

Stage 2 Resistance period: Easily obese

Resistance to stress automatically rises, allowing the body to enter a period of saving nutrients. The parasympathetic nerve is in the dominant position, promoting the secretion of gastric acid, which increases our appetite. In addition, affected by excessive secretion of catecholamine, if you are not careful, you will eat more and more.

Stage Three Collapse Period

Excessive pressure will put the body in a state where it is difficult to adapt to pressure. Stress disrupts the balance of the body, falls into a state of hesitation, and is exhausted physically and mentally. In serious cases, it may cause life-related diseases.

Obesity caused by stress

Uneasiness, anxiety

Because the sympathetic nerves are high, your mind becomes unstable and you are prone to anxiety and irritability. Once your emotions become volatile, it is easy for you to unconsciously relieve stress through eating.

insomnia

The sympathetic nerve continues to be in a high state and cannot be successfully switched to the parasympathetic nerve, causing sleep disorders and poor sleep, further affecting endocrine, disrupting the balance of the body, and causing chaos in the leptin and auxin, which are closely related to weight loss.

overeating

A large amount of hormones that enhance appetite are secreted. In order to replenish nutrients to fight stress, appetite is rampant and overeating.
