About cortisol, stubborn excess weight and a saggy belly
In this video, I share some tips that will help you get rid of excess fat from your belly. I also talk about how this issue is related to cortisol, talk about this hormone and how to normalize it, what actions and what foods help keep this hormone normal.
If you have already tried a lot of things to lose weight, lose excess weight, get your waist back in place, get rid of your saggy belly and fat from this area, and neither proper moderate nutrition nor an active lifestyle and physical exercise help you, perhaps, or almost certainly, you should pay attention to such a hormone as cortisol.
This hormone is often the cause of the accumulation of visceral fat and a sagging waist, a saggy belly that does not want to go away despite all efforts.
Cortisol is actually a very useful hormone that we need. It helps us wake up, feel a surge of strength, cope with stressful situations. But when there is too much stress, when it is chronic, when you are constantly tense day after day because of your lifestyle and thinking, when you are never getting enough sleep, when you lead a predominantly sedentary, insufficiently active lifestyle, a life that is very far from natural rhythms, then cortisol can be elevated.
An increase in cortisol levels can be and in fact often is the reason why some people do not respond to diets and exercise. By the way, elevated cortisol, cortisol levels above normal also lead to depressive states - because high cortisol depletes serotonin and dopamine and damages the receptors of these hormones, it also leads to chronic inflammation, thyroid problems and overeating, insomnia, anxiety, agitation and many other health problems.
This can be corrected. Cortisol can be normalized. This hormone is corrected by changing your lifestyle. But if you are already on the path of a more conscious life, eat healthier and have been trying to normalize your weight and belly for a long time, you are unlikely to have serious violations - you are already on the right path. You just need to take into account some natural cortisol rhythms and, taking them into account, slightly change your actions.
