For those addicted to comfort binge eating, here is a comforting news! Snacking when stressed is not as bad as the world thinks.

A latest study has revealed that binging when feeling blue isn't bad, as “munchers” tend to eat less when happy. People who comfort eat when they are unhappy compensate for it by eating less in happier times. So at the end of it, it all balances out. What more, researchers have found that “skippers” who don't resort to comfort eating tend to pig out more when they are happy and high. Makes sense!

So the next time you feel down and low, don't feel guilty when reaching out for that tub of Ben and Jerry's ice cream! Remember, emotional eating is not bad as long as you know where to draw the line.
