Coping with comfort foods

December 11, 2020

Our first survey research findings are published in the journal Nutrition. We found that employment change was a significant stressor during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many individuals experienced worsened moods and coped with their stress by comfort eating during this time. We hope these findings alert us to remember self-care in times of stress - starting by eating well. Take care everyone!

Also, congratulations Nikita on your first paper (and learning SPSS on your own)!

The COVID-19 pandemic has been challenging, but staying in touch with friends has helped us remain positive. Today we made plans to resume our research, and we reflected on what we learned and what we look forward to putting behind us. We are stronger together.
