Centrum tip - Avoid stress eating

Take action:
The first step is to admit that you're stress eating; after that, it's important to identify what's making you feel anxious – once you’ve identified the source, it will be easier to face; if you crave something, have it – depriving yourself will only make you binge on that item; find out what relaxes you and fit it into your daily routine; make your home a soothing environment; learn to switch off – mulling over things that might happen is a useless exercise; start exercising – physical activity helps to control blood sugar levels and has a tendency to reduce appetite; have healthy snacks available at home; and consider counselling if the problem persists.
