Dangerous Stress Relievers

We all need to unwind in our own way and it's just that some ways are healthier than others. We do have a lot of unhealthy habits such as the following:

Our friends at YourTango.com compiled a list of stress relievers that we really need to cut back on, like:

• Watching TV- There are tons of studies that link watching TV to being obese. And this isn't just because you're acting like a couch potatoes. TV actually rewires your brain to be a passive spectator rather than an active participant in life.

• Drinking- Though drinking can be a fun, social activity, it definitely has a dark side. Alcohol is highly addictive, depletes nutrients, shortens lives, damages relationships, and usually brings out the worst in people.

• Late Night Eating- Eating after 7 p.m. is a tried and true way to pack on the pounds. But it's not just the time of day -- it's also that you're more likely to eat ice cream, than binge on baby carrots.

How do you blow off steam?
