01:27And usually, what you eat is not healthy.
01:31It can be chocolates, it can be cakes, or something sugary.
01:36Because we feel that when our comfort food is there, we are energized.
01:44But if you're always stress-eating, you can have problems with your health.
01:49Your cholesterol will increase or you'll become diabetic.
