Sometimes when we are stressed, it's tempting to fulfill some sort of craving: food, coffee... even, alcohol, drugs or sex. But wait! Research shows that playing Tetris has several benefits:

"Playing Tetris decreased craving strength for drugs (alcohol, nicotine, caffeine), food and drink, and activities (sex, exercise, gaming), with a mean reduction of 13.9 percentage points, effect size f2 = 0.11. This effect was consistent across the week." 

Wow! That's one great way to reduce your stress and stay healthy at the same time!
