Reduce Daily Stress
Reducing stress isn't as impossible as it sounds, and if you can achieve it, it will have a positive impact on your well-being and metabolism. Let us show you what stress is doing to your body and how you can reduce it with simple hacks. Meet Daithi, who lost an incredible amount of weight by taking control of his stress levels.
Chronic stress can negatively impact your metabolism in these three big ways.
1. Overeating or emotional eating: When you're stressed, your body produces cortisol, a hormone that can lead to increased appetite, cravings for suggary and fatty foods, which enevitably lead to incresed fat storage.
2. Low Blood Sugar Regulation: Chronic stress may impair the pancreas's ability to secrete insulin effectively, further exacerbating blood sugar regulation problems.
3. Lifestyle Change: Stress often leads to reduced physical activity and sedentary behavior, which are risk factors for metabolic health problems. Stress can disrupt sleep patterns, and poor sleep is linked to impaired glucose metabolism, increased appetite, and weight gain.

The difference it makes - Limbo story
"It's quite interesting to see that if you can stay a bit more mellow, you get a lower blood glucose level as well. It's not just about what you eat; it's also about managing your stress levels."
