Another reason to stress less? It'll keep ya from reachin' for the potato chips

Check these out, too...

Ever catch yourself munching on sweets the night before a test? Or when you’re worried about something at home you can’t help but reach for some potato chips? A new study suggests that the more you stress, the more likely you are to snack on high calorie foods.

In the study the participants were told whether or not they had high or low calorie M&Ms (but they were really the same). Then they were shown posters that had messages of adversity and struggle, or were neutral. Those who were told they had a high calorie M&M ate more of them when they were shown the adversity posters than those who thought they had a low cal M&M, suggesting that the junkier the snack ya have on hand, the more likely you are to eat it when you’re wigging out.

Moral of the story? Toning down the stress should make it easier to eat right…or at least stop binging on snack food during a marathon study sesh.

SORT: OLDEST FIRST | NEWEST FIRST

I thought this was a well known thing... But As for eating while studying for a test, its actually a good thing to do. It gets your brain pumping. But of course, its better to go for a healthier snack than a bag of chips. Some people use gum instead of food. I know when my school does a state testing they give us mentos and supply tons of food while we take the test.

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
