People who are highly stressed and eat a diet rich in fat and sugar are at an increased risk of developing health problems than low stressed people with a similar diet chart, according to a University of California - San Francisco study.
"Chronic stress can play an important role in influencing biology, and it's critical to understand the exact pathways through which it works," Kirstin Aschbacher, PhD, an assistant professor in the UCSF Department of Psychiatry and lead author, said in a statement. "Many people think a calorie is a calorie, but this study suggests that two women who eat the same thing could have different metabolic responses based on their level of stress."
"There appears to be a stress pathway that works through diet - for example, it could be similar to what we see in animals, where fat cells grow faster in response to junk food when the body is chronically stressed."
