Psychotherapist and psychogeneticist Natalya Ukhanova warned that stress can lead to significant weight gain or loss.
The specialist divided stress into useful and harmful. She cited active training as an example of beneficial stress. “Also stress for the body and muscles. In a few days, the body recovers and the muscles increase their strength and endurance,” Ukhanova explained in an interview with RIAMO.
Ukhanova called harmful stress one that is too strong, frequent and prolonged. In such a situation, it accumulates in the body and psyche, and the person has problems with mood, health and activity. “You can earn apathy, emotional burnout and illness. Naturally, accumulated stress affects weight loss,” the psychotherapist noted.
In this regard, she urged to consult a doctor in case of poor health and significant weight gain or loss. “If obesity is associated with a disease, then the gym and diets will definitely not be enough,” added Ukhanova. With chronic and severe stress, the body begins to defend itself and gain excess weight. Therefore, it is important to restore mental balance.
