“Fat Loss Strategy” #20 The Effect of Stress aka Cortisol on Fat Loss
Cortisol is a hormone that helps us cope with stress. Excessive cortisol can lead to cravings (overeating, eating sweets), breakdown of muscles to supply energy to the body, mental arousal/insomnia, indirect inflammation of the body, and nutritional tendencies. If you store fat, you are likely to secrete excess cortisol if you are constantly under high pressure.
In order to reduce the excessive secretion of cortisol, stress relief becomes a very necessary thing. Like…
Engage in more leisure activities, for example: go for a walk outdoors, stay in a good mood, and meditate. For example, when I am stressed, I will go cycling. I ride for several hours to force myself to isolate myself from the source of stress (such as work). In addition, exercise can also secrete dopamine, so I feel physically and mentally relaxed after every ride😍 Or meditate for 30 minutes to an hour every day to calm your mind and relieve your emotions at the right time.drink the right amount of coffeeExcessive caffeine intake may cause sleep disorders for some people, or stimulate the secretion of more cortisol, causing the body to want to store more fat, which is not effective for fat loss.
