Stress and Stretch Marks

You often hear people attribute their physical conditions to stress. When some people get acne, they blame stress. When they get tummy troubles, they blame stress. Even for some serious diseases such as cancer, stress plays a role. And when it comes to stretch marks, stress can be one of the things to blame as well.

Stretch marks, as experts say, occur when your skin loses its elasticity. This loss of elasticity is caused by many things. One is hormonal changes when women get pregnant or when children reach puberty. Another reason is when people gain or lose weight rapidly.

The latter reason is related to stress. People react to stress differently. One of the common ways that people cope with stress is to find comfort in food. For some strange reason, food makes them feel happy. For some unnatural and wrong reason, food, for some people, is one of of the strong weapons against stress.

In time, turning to food when stressed can really lead to a gigantic problem. Not only will you be taking your health at risk, you will also making your skin less elastic as it is stretched to its limit to accommodate your growing body. So deal with stress properly if you want your skin to be free of stretch marks. Never turn to food to handle your problems.
