Dr. Berg answers the question “Is stress making you eat sugar?” and he also talks about why people who are stressed consume sugar. Stress reduces a body chemical called Beta Endorphins, it is the things that make you feel good and it basically counters stress and pain and is about 33% stronger than morphine for pain. Sugar is causing a depletion of beta-endorphins with a little temporary pleasure and relief of discomfort. 

Ways that Triggers Beta Endorphin: 

• Runners High (Exercise)

• Intermittent Fasting or fasting 

• Sugar 

• Laughing 

• Massage 

• Chocolate
