THE TRUTH ABOUT CORTISOL
The Truth About Cortisol
Did you know that the stress causing cortisol is
actually a necessary hormone in the body? Also,
the levels of cortisol can be controlled by
making a few lifestyle changes.
Get your facts right about it here:
What is Cortisol?
Cortisol, popularly known as the stress
hormone, is released by the adrenal glands
which are located at the top of kidneys.
The primary function of cortisol is to increase
blood sugar for fuel. But its other roles include
macronutrient absorption, blood pressure
regulation, decreased inflammation, sleep,
mood and motivation.
How to maintain cortisol levels?
Common lifestyle problems that can
heavily affect cortisol levels.
• Irregular sleep schedule
• Rotating shift work
• Sedentary lifestyle
• Overstimulation from electronic devices
• High consumption of sugar and
processed foods
• Stressful activity
• Sleeping with TV on
• Blue light
Continued…
Our brains cannot differentiate between perceived
reality and truth. It is important to focus on what
you want. Many people struggle with it, being
inherently negatively wired.
Chronic stress can result in elevated cortisol levels, causing health risks such as:
• Breakdown of muscle tissue
• Consistent fatigue
• Weight gain due to increased appetite
• High glucose levels
• Increased visceral fat that surrounds the organs
• Hormone imbalances
