Signs that you are running on stress hormone | Health

by Universalwellnesssystems

Often we feel stressed and anxious. Although it may be difficult to appreciate and understand the same, we can be driven by stress hormones. When we are overly stressed or anxious about something, the stress hormone cortisol is produced. This makes us feel more stressed and can lead to muscle tension and cardiovascular problems. Psychologist Caroline Middelsdorf noted this and wrote down the signs we need to look out for to know if we are being affected by stress hormones.

Sleeping disorder: We sometimes have difficulty falling asleep and the quality of sleep is not enough to recharge the body and mind throughout the day.

weight fluctuations: Despite maintaining healthy eating and exercise habits, we struggle with weight management. The weight of your body constantly changes.

decreased immunity: We tend to get sick very easily because our immune systems are weak and our bodies don't have the power to fight diseases.

digestive system problems: Even when eating easily digestible foods, we face several digestive problems, from bloating to improper digestion.

cognitive dysfunction: We all suffer from cognitive impairments, from difficulty concentrating on what's in front of us to difficulty concentrating.

mood problems: From facing anxiety issues to extreme mood swings, elevated cortisol levels can affect your daily mood and worsen your reactions.

Here are some ways to lower cortisol levels:

morning exercise: By incorporating a morning workout into your daily lifestyle, your morning will set the tone for your day and give you something to look forward to for the rest of your day.

exposure to sunlight: We need to expose our eyes and body to the morning sun. This corrects the body's sleep-wake cycle and helps you get a better night's sleep.
