Those who suffer from stress may want to try donning their ladies fitness clothing and exercising more, a medical expert has claimed.

Dr Charles Elder, an investigator with the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research in Portland, Oregon, said that physical exercise can help some people to de-stress.

He also said that exercise can help some individuals to get a better night's sleep.

Dr Elder suggested some people who struggle to get to sleep may want to try meditation, which could include postures practiced in ladies yoga clothing.

He recently conducted a study and found that reducing stress levels and getting more sleep increases a person's chance of losing weight.

The results of this research have been published in the International Journal of Obesity.

Back in January, Tam Fry, National Obesity Forum board member, suggested that women who feel stressed should take up regular exercise as this is a better cure than comfort eating.
