Answer to Question 2

People may choose foods that are higher in refined carbohydrates or added fats to help them deal with stress. This could lead to more calories being consumed than being used. Also, people who are dealing with stress are often not paying close attention to what they are eating. They may just grab whatever food item is convenient for them.
Increased stores of body fat can cause inflammation in the blood vessels or changes in the liver cell sensitivity to the effects of insulin. This could result in an increase in type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease risks.
