What Stress Has to Do with Overweight:
         When you are under pressure, your body produces cortisol-a hormone that tells your body to put out more neuropeptides and galanin. As a result, you crave carbohydrates and fats.  The research has supported that stressed people end up being obese. 

         While you can't eliminate stress entirely, you can learn to control it. Find the best stress-buster for you-exercise, practice deep breathing or meditation, perform muscle relax-and-release exercises, take a warm bath, read a book, or listen to music.  “Art of Stress-free Living” by Dr. S.S. Dhillon is a good start to handle stress. http://www.publishamerica.com/shopping/shopdisplayproducts.asp?catalogid=14048
