Cortisol (stress hormone) is produced in the adrenal cortex. It is known that an excess of the hormone cortisol affects our beauty, our health, and longevity. Also, disturbances in the rhythm of cortisol production may indicate a disruption in the functioning of a number of other hormones.
Cortisol has a major effect on carbohydrate metabolism, increasing blood glucose levels.
Cortisol affects protein metabolism, reduces the flow of amino acids into the cell, and stops muscle growth.
Cortisol affects fat metabolism, has a double effect, and increases insulin in the blood, which leads to fat storage.
Also, with excessively elevated cortisol levels, fat is redistributed in the face, neck, and torso, while the limbs may remain thin. However, small doses of cortisol are necessary for some metabolic processes; under the influence of cortisol and growth hormone, fat breakdown increases.
Cortisol is a vital hormone; when it is within the normal range, it produces a powerful anti-inflammatory effect.
Cortisol works according to a circadian rhythm (biorhythm). The active phase of cortisol production occurs in the morning and slowly decreases throughout the day. It helps us wake up and be energetic in the morning.
The disruption in the rhythm of cortisol production in the body may be indicated by having difficulties waking in the morning, lack of energy in the first half of the day, a high energy level in the evening, and problems with sleep.
Low cortisol levels are also dangerous, which leads to a large number of disorders: fatigue, dry skin, panic attacks, dark circles under the eyes, etc., are typical.
It is important to learn to cope with stress!
