Coping With Stress - Stress Eating and Premature Aging

Elissa Epel, UCSF Department of Psychiatry explores the connection between stress, eating and cellular aging. She and her colleagues have found that the cells of high stress individuals appeared older than the cells of those with low stress. These findings have implications for understanding how, at the cellular level, stress may promote earlier onset of age-related diseases.

re: food being addictive, I think you are pathologizing a very healthy and normal brain response. The reward pathway is THERE to reward for food and sex, it's not some sort of maladaption. I also question your statement in the video that non-high fat/sugar foods do NOT stimulate the RP. We know that high fat/sugar foods create more of a reward (which makes sense since those foods are calorie/carb dense, but what's your data that some foods don't create any sort of a reward?

Thanks for posting this. I am interested if diet can affect stress? Rather than stress affects diet and metabolism? Some people assert that a glucose steady diet and high supplements (vitB especially)reduces stress.
