and what to do instead

Ever feel that you want a little nibble when you’re stressed out?

Well, it is a fact that stress triggers cravings for sugar, fat, and salt. That’s why we sometimes talk about comfort food. It literally tricks our brains and makes us happy (for a bit).

But the short-term comfort we get from having that snack or big meal can quickly come back to bite us when we look at our groceries and snack bill at the end of the month.

Try this instead:

Drink some water, go for a walk, try journaling to help you understand your stress or phoning a friend for a good yak instead of reaching for the snacks.
