Content: Overindulgence or reduced appetite
Stress hormones temporarily reduce your appetite. However, prolonged exposure to the hormones, according to Harvard Medical School, results in overeating. You may find yourself craving unhealthy junk food such as chips, pizza, chocolate, and ice-cream. 4. Memory loss
Having trouble memorizing what you learned in class last week? Your stress levels could be to blame. According to a study by Rutgers University, stress adversely affects your ability to remember information. When you’re struggling to retain information for midterms or finals, you could end up stressing out even more. Managing Stress
Another study conducted by Boyton Health Services, the University of Minnesota, showed that a student’s ability to manage stress is crucial. Of the students who confessed experiencing stress and who subsequently recorded low performance, those able to manage their stress performed marginally better than those who couldn’t.
