Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Stress causes the release of cortisol. Cortisol can cause increased hunger, which leads to consumption of excess calories. Cortisol also activates fat-storing enzymes and may increase craving for salty and sweet foods. In addition, it appears to play a role in laying down extra belly fat. A person who learns to effectively manage stress will have lower levels of circulating cortisol, and is therefore less likely to engage in stress-related consumption of excess calories or experience the storage of excess fat.
