Is Your Waistline Increasing ?
Did you know that stress could be adding inches to your waistline, especially if you are over 40? 😳
Ladies, we all know that as we enter into our 40s and beyond, our bodies experience significant hormone changes. 🌸 Add in a little bit of stress during this time, and you might find your waistline starting to expand. Here’s just a few reasons why:
➡️ Cortisol: Stress triggers cortisol release, our body’s stress hormone. Increased cortisol levels can lead to fat storage around the waistline, making it harder to keep it in check, especially during menopause. ⚖️
➡️ Cravings: Do you notice those late-night cravings during stressful times? 🍕🍫 Stress can influence our food choices, often leading to indulging in high-calorie, comfort foods that contribute to weight gain, especially around the midsection.
➡️ Sleep: Stress can disrupt our sleep patterns, leaving us tired and irritable. 😴 Poor sleep can impact our metabolism, making it easier to pack on the pounds, particularly in the midsection.
So, it’s time to stop stressing, focus on YOU, and give yourself time to relax and re-focus. 💆♀️ How are you going to focus on you today? 🌿
