Have you been packing on the pounds? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. It is a known fact that stress can lead to weight gain. A new study from the journal Cell Metabolism explains why. Stress leads to inflammation in the body. Glucocorticoids, a steroid hormone, are released in response to the inflammation. When under long term stress, this hormone signals the creation of fat cells. Continuous stress can eventually lead to excessive weight gain and other health problems. If your stress levels are through the roof, try exercising, meditating, or breathing exercises to keep tension at a safe level. If you are still unable to control your stress, talk to your doctor. This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.
