transient comfort or withdraw from the world in order to keep our bad emotions in control, while others follow healthy coping mechanisms to manage stress more efficiently.
Emotional eating may cause us to consume excess calories and cause digestive problems, and staying inactive for extended periods can increase our risk of developing a variety of sedentary lifestyle disorders such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity. A dietitian recently shared on Instagram how our coping mechanisms during times of stress could impact our general health. Dealing with stress in an effective way will resolve this issue.
In the Instagram video posted by nutritionist Azera Khan, she explained about the coping mechanisms of stress. She said, “Did you know that coping mechanisms also play a crucial part in our healthy lifestyle? There are certain things which make us happy, so once we are super-stressed about work or personal issues, we try to do certain things that make us happy. But that happiness is very temporary”.
According to her, if your coping technique is to sleep all day, eat a lot of junk food, and then feel horrible again, these negative strategies are not beneficial to our bodies. Khan counsels her followers to avoid these negative coping techniques and adopt more constructive ones. She advised a number of other healthy remedies for stress. She added, “Go out for a run, have clean eating, talk to your friends which make you feel happy. This is going to give you enough dopamine to start working on yourself all over again”.
Physical activities such as walking, yoga, and breathing exercises are all things we should do to improve our physical and mental health. In the long run, these healthy stress management practices will develop into a lifelong habit.
