Stress affects people’s lives in many ways. Others cope with stress by doing a variety of activities that will make them relaxed. The most common way that people do to cope with stress is stress-eating. It is caused by hunger experienced by people who are stressed. Stress-eating is helpful as a short-term solution to stress but not in the long run.

As much as stress-eating helps people forget their problems, it also causes a lot of disadvantages. Weight gain is one of the most common problem caused by stress-eating. People tend to eat easily available food which are unhealthy most of the time. Problems, such as weight gain, could be prevented by having healthy food choices. Doing activities like walking or talking to someone are also very helpful. Indeed, eating is necessary for a person to survive, but a person must eat in moderation to remain healthy.
