Effects of Cortisol
Cortisol affects that fat tire that most men carry around their waist. While we figure he is just an adamant football fan or just a couch potato, he my be increasingly at risk for several health problems. An estimated 60 to 70 million American men (about one of every four) have some degree of this syndrome, which sets the stage for health problems such as, diabetes and coronary artery disease.
The good news is that, like many other health problems, negative Cortisol Effects can be prevented and reversed through a combination of diet, supplementation, and moderate physical activity. These clusters of signs and symptoms have previously been referred to as metabolic syndrome or insulin-resistance syndrome. Now they are suspected to be signs of stress or high cortisol levels.
Adjust Your Eating Habits to Help Combat Cortisol Effects
Although researchers are investigating genetic predispositions to insulin resistance and excess cortisol, the major influence appears to be stress and diet. For example, Native Americans and Hawaiians have a relatively high risk of developing insulin resistance and diabetes. However, these conditions did not occur within those cultures until they started eating foods rich in refined sugars and carbohydrates.
In addition to supplements that will aid in the reduction of this hormone, it is a great idea to revise eating habits as well. Start by avoiding refined carbohydrates, emphasize low-starch fresh vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and mixed-green salads. Eat some protein at each meal as well, such as chicken, fish and turkey.
