If may sound contrary to what you have heard in the past, but we are supposed to eat when we are stressed. Some evolutionary biologist believe that the urge to eat when situations get hairy is an evolutionary instinct triggered by certain chemicals. The problem occurs when we turn to greasy pizza or a sugary pint of ice cream.
This isn't to say you can only eat fruits, vegetables and tofu when you're stressed, but what you should be eating are foods that can help counteract those stress-inducing chemicals. Pizza and ice cream don't, but M&Ms do. Not a bad tradeoff, right? So next time you find yourself in a trying situation, opt for one of these 7 Secret Stress Relievers. They'll help you look and feel better in the long run.
