11. Manage your stress factors
Stress does no good to you unless we are talking about eustress (good stress). Still, in general, stress destroys almost every single aspect of our lives. From job to family, stress can easily take control of our lives. That’s why it’s impossible to lose weight or feel good in your skin when stress strikes.
Research from the University of Florida concluded that stress could restrain the production of an enzyme that’s responsible for the proper function of metabolism. In other words, your lazy metabolism could become even lazier when you’re stressed.
If you can’t manage your stress factors on your own, seek professional help.
