As lifestyles are changing, and the way contemporary living standards are the saying 'health is wealth' is proved right. And, people are now becoming more attentive toward their health and fitness. Until they are not fit and healthy, they are unable to perform their tasks, jobs with complete potential and concentration. Stress has become one of the main concerns of everyday life. Stress is root of so many health problems. And, people are struggling with this problem. We can find almost everyone is fighting with the phase of being in stress. There are several different reasons why people feel stressed; some are stressed due to their career. Some are stressed due to education, due to family, due to personal life or due to professional life. This is a time when we can find people from almost every age group including teenagers, adults and old people suffering from stress. Human body releases the hormones adrenalin, cortisol and corticotrophin when a person feels stresses or is affected by a traumatic event. His body responds by releasing these mentioned hormones those are responsible for supplying body with the energy to physically fight or run away from the stressful situation or threat. Stress – nervous tension, anxiety, constant worry, stain or tension, trauma or pressure for certain things and responsibilities can contribute to weight gain as well. And, weight gain again welcomes more stress and worry. It also can contribute in other health problems. So, in simple and short words, stress and weight gain are causes of each other. We should understand that along with nervous tension or stress, hormonal changes and psychological dynamics take place and this combination can result in weight gain. Actually, in any kind of stress human body automatically starts up a series of events to change the chemistry of the body. Nervous tension triggers a rush of adrenaline through the body and blood pressure rises. This leads to sugar being pumped into the body for energy. And, this let a person eat more. This situation of changes in hormones and changes in the chemistry of the human body result in lower levels of hormone secretion due to which there is an increase in appetite, insomnia, depression and anxiety. Stress and weight gain have become one of the major concerns for human being, in contemporary lives, which is becoming threat to cause other health problems as well. It is important for people to learn, understand about causes of stress and weight gain and take steps to be stress-free to be healthy and perfectly fit.
