When you feel stress creeping in, how do you tend to respond? For some, it might be carving out time to run or meditate, but for others, it could be turning toward food for comfort – consciously or unconsciously.

If you identify with turning to food when you feel stressed, know that you aren’t alone. And we’re not here to judge. 

Emotional eating, or eating in response to emotions, is more common than you might realize. According to the American Psychological Association, 38% of adults say they overeat or eat unhealthy foods because of stress.

While the conversations around this topic have improved, there’s still a ways to go. Our goal is to help you better understand what motivates your eating behaviors so you can take charge and make the changes you desire.

Let’s take a further look at defining physical hunger versus emotional hunger.

First, Let’s Define Physical Hunger

Hunger is your body’s way of letting you know it needs energy – and energy comes from the calories you eat, aka your food choices.

There are two main hormones to thank when it comes to communicating hunger signals, ghrelin and leptin. Ghrelin tells your brain it’s time to eat when your stomach is empty, and leptin does the opposite telling your brain to stop when you are feeling full and satisfied.

Besides hormonal cues, there are also physical indicators of hunger. You’re probably most familiar with the sensation of stomach growling. In addition, light-headedness, low energy, shakiness, headaches, or problems focusing may be signs of hunger. <Read more>

One of the most popular winter sports is skiing. Many people love it because it's a fun and exciting way to spend a cold winter day. But, did you know it can also be healthy for you?

One quintessential winter sport or hobby is skiing. Often lumped together with snowboarding under the umbrella of winter sports, including hockey, skating, and others, skiing is also extremely popular. In the 2020-21 winter season, there were roughly 10.5 million skiers and snowboarders in the United States.

Skiing is a popular sport for plenty of good reasons. Not only is it fun, but it can provide some heart-pounding excitement as you go whizzing down the slopes. If you’re looking for a healthy way to spend your winter months, skiing may be a smart choice.

Burns Calories

You may not consider skiing to be an intense workout, but as anyone who’s spent a day on the slopes can tell you, you’ll be exhausted afterwards. If we’re looking specifically at how tough of an exercise it can sneakily be, we can dig into calories.

For traditional downhill skiing, the average person can burn anywhere from 250 to 600 calories per hour, depending on the intensity. Cross country skiing can burn around 400 to 650 calories per hour for the average person.
