Stress makes us FAT. Cortisone causes fat gain
.
Stress is so bad for our health that it can actually KILL US. It kills us and make us FAT.
When we are under stress our body release a higher level of adrenalin to help our body cope with stressful situation. Another substance that is released into our body when we are under stress is Cortisone.
Cortisone is a hormone made by the adrenal gland, which definitely causes FAT gain. If made in excess or used in excess as a drug, cortisone also causes muscle, bone, skin, and other protein loss. Pretty flattering results, eh? So it slows our metabolism. You gain fat and loose muscle.
Cortisone also causes abnormalities in sugar metabolism. Talk about a vicious cycle:
· Weight gain causes increased insulin.
· Increased insulin causes increased cortisone.
· Increased cortisone causes increased weight and abnormal sugar metabolism!
· And on and on and on. . . .
Finally, cortisone causes pre-fat cells to mature to become fat cells, making storage of fat easier. Cortisone makes the brain less sensitive to the fat-cell-produced hormone leptin, which controls hunger, appetite, satiety, and cravings—so they become even more difficult to control.
Now you know that STRESS MAKES YOU FAT.
But there is a good news: If cortisone levels increase, diet and exercise also cause normalization of insulin and cortisone within days to weeks of starting a diet program. And now what happens is that your body is starting to produce Endorphins Hormone. ENDORPHINS IMPROVE OUR MOOD and your cortisol levels will be back to normal.
It is very important for us to understand how hormones in our bodies work, if we want to achieve results in the gym.
Please don't let anxiety and stress ruin your day.
