Want to Kill a Craving? Run It Over

Moving your feet can resist the allure of sugary foods, an Austrian study suggests.

The researchers took forty-seven overweight adults, had half of them engage in some brisk walking, then deliberately gave both groups a difficult test that was designed to increase their stress levels. Then they were given some sugary treats; those who had taken a walk were far less likely to give into their cravings and eat the candy.

This is just one example of the mounting evidence that stress can cause sugar cravings, and exercise can kill 'em. Here's what you should know.
