Stress - we all experience it today in age. Luckily, in this video, Rasha shares 5 ways you can naturally lower cortisol, the body’s main stress hormone. Cortisol is important for helping the body deal with stressful situations. During the ‘fight-or-flight’ response, adrenaline speeds up your heart rate and increases your energy, while cortisol promotes the release of glucose into your blood, providing a source of fuel. However, when cortisol levels are too high for too long, this hormone can hurt you more than it helps. Over time, high levels may cause weight gain and high blood pressure, disrupt sleep, negatively impact mood, reduce your energy levels, and contribute to diabetes. It can also increase your risk of developing heart disease, depression, and digestive problems. Since our ever-stressed, fast-paced lifestyle causes high cortisol levels, you won’t want to miss this important video. Let us know which tip you’ll implement today, we’d love to know!
