Stress Induced Obesity

Stress can take a major toll on our weight issues. Cortisol is the stress hormone which directly affects fat storage and weight gain in stressed individuals. Cortisol is associated with overeating, craving high caloric fatty, and sugary foods, and relocating fat from the circulation and storage depots to the abdominal area.

This type of stress-induced obesity is linked to developing cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes, and hypertension.

An effective stress and weight management program at Shathayu Ayurveda like Detoxification, Shirodhara, and Massages along with regular exercises and a healthy diet may be a key to reducing and preventing stress-induced Obesity. As the Detox improves metabolism it also reduces the cortisol hormones and helps to overcome the irregular eating cravings.
