What are the effects of stress on body weight?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Stress can reduce a person's appetite, or cause an upset stomach or other symptoms that cause a person to avoid eating. But for many, stress induces a longing for sweets, chips, or other "comfort foods" high in calories. Both children and adults can experience weight gain if they attempt to cope with stress by overeating. Moreover, researchers have long acknowledged an "income—body weight gradient" by which economic stressors provoke metabolic changes that are associated with increased weight.
