How do stress management techniques influence fat loss and prevent weight gain?

Stress management techniques influence fat loss and prevent weight gain by addressing the impact of chronic stress on hormonal balance and eating behaviors. High stress levels can lead to increased cortisol production, which is associated with fat accumulation, particularly around the abdomen. Techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, regular physical activity, and relaxation exercises help lower cortisol levels, manage stress-related eating, and support effective fat loss.
