Stress causes your adrenal glans to raise your cortisol level which leads to many health issues, one of them being weight gain. There is a solution though, so don't get stressed.
I've been reading a lot of blog posts lately about how people are eating all the right foods and the right proportions but are not losing weight or even still gaining weight. There is a lot of reasons this could be happening, but when I look closer into the lives of these people I can see the probable reason. It's scientific name is STRESS.
Your body is an incredible machine. When your body feels a change from the ordinary it goes into defense mode. Your Adrenal Glans start producing the hormone cortisol. It is needed for regulating blood sugar, energy production, inflammation, the immune system and healing.
If you introduce stress, your adrenal glans will elevate your cortisol level. Any type of stress will do that. It could be stress from work, the TV you watch like the news, the environment you live in, or even the foods or lack of certain foods you eat.
A high level of cortisol will more than likely lead to weight gain among other things, I'll get to those in a moment.
This is also why so many weight loss plans or diets fail. It's because you are fighting against your adrenal glans that are releasing high levels of cortisol, which usually end up going strait to your abdominal area. You need to work with your body and feed it everything it needs, all the proper foods and keep it fed. Eating small meals and snacks of good healthy food all day long works well. It is the only kind of weight loss plan or diet that seems to work long term without any health risk. In other words, “Healthy Weight Loss”.
The other problems with a high level of cortisol are that it slows down your metabolism. Your immune system is also suppressed which can cause all kinds of problem and makes you prone to many illnesses. The stomach lining becomes thin which could cause stomach ulcers. It will cause your blood sugars to rise and digestion to slow.
Are you starting to get the picture? Stress causes problems.
It turns into a vicious cycle, stress causes problems that cause more stress, which leads to bigger problems and so on.
The health problems that stress ultimately lead to are numerous. Weight gain is only the tip of the iceberg. Where it adds the weight is what could be the killer.
The only way to avoid costly future visits to the doctor and hospital are to figure out how to lower your stress level and get on a healthy weight loss plan, even if you are not overweight. A healthy weight loss plan will teach you a lot about nutrition.
So learn to relax more. Listen to some soothing music. Take up yoga or meditation. Take a walk or jog by yourself and brainstorm some ideas that will lead to happiness. Find you own little sanctuary where you can sit or lay alone quietly. Learn not to sweat the little things. Nothing is so major that you can't think of a solution. Most of the things we stress over turn out to be minor and the solution most of the time leads to a better way of life.
Good Health, Or A Good Health Care Plan
This is why it is so important to start thinking about your health and nutrition now. You should be thinking of your health at the same level as retirement if not more. Health care is not getting cheaper. It's expensive so let me show you how to save some money.
