Many people with excess stomach / visceral fat are chronically stressed, so they have higher-than-normal circulating levels of cortisol.

This can increase hunger and negatively alter mood including increasing feelings of anxiety, which many people alleviate (a.k.a. “self-medicate”) with food and/or alcohol.

These unnecessary extra calories increase body fat.

Furthermore, chronic stress elevates cortisol levels, which directly promotes stomach fat deposition.
