#reduce cortisol

Thursday Thoughts... knowledge is power, always.

I was lucky to learn this lesson early from my father & older brothers. It completely changes how you respond to stress and trauma.

Take care of you... YOU MATTER. ✌️

Cortisol is a stress hormone that can be a major contributor to weight gain.

Too much cortisol causes the body to hold onto body fat, so regardless of how much someone exercises or controls caloric intake, they still may not lose weight.

The incredible benefits of Basil

The incredible benefits of Basil. An herb that we only associate with its wonderful smell when we have it in a pot on our balcony or when we rub it in the pasta with red sauce. But the truth is that its benefits are out of the kitchen and can do wonders for our skin and stress levels.

The incredible benefits of Basil

Since we use so many natural materials in our kitchen to make face masks,…

Have you ever had a week where you stepped on the scale to see a weight gain even after being faithful to your healthy diet and work outs? Sometimes it's hard to know the exact cause but if you've been having a stressful week it could be due to that. Stress all by itself can cause weight gain in people whether on a weight loss program or not.

Too much ongoing stress can be detrimental to your well-being and can lead to heart disease, depression, mood disorders, high anxiety, high blood pressure, and other diseases and health disorders. In today's world, many people don't fully decompress from one stressful event to another. As a result, many people experience ongoing stress that never seems to stop. The stress hormones don't have the chance to return to resting and can stay elevated day after day, month after month, or even over several years. This can lead to weight gain, especially around the waist. Cortisol is one of the stress hormones responsible for weight gain and keeping its levels low can prevent this. The good news is that you can lower cortisol levels without dramatically changing your life.

What NOT to do

Many of us consider lounging on the couch as a way to rest and relax, but a study was done that showed that sofa time is not a particularly good de-stressor. A group of people had their cortisol levels tested before hanging out on the sofa to relax. After an hour, their cortisol levels hadn't changed. Later, they had that same group do an hour of yoga and the retest showed a significant reduction in cortisol levels!

Here's a list of activities that are effective for reducing cortisol levels. Some may not suit your interests, but you'll find some that you can use regularly. 

Take a Warm Bath. Warm water soothes your skin, which is the largest organ on your body. A warm-to-hot bath before dinner or bed may be all you need to feel renewed. You can achieve this in the hot tub, bathtub, shower, or even a swimming pool. It doesn't have to be long, even 5-10 minutes may be all you need. You can make it more soothing by adding bath salts or fragrant oils. 

Get Sunshine! Our eyes need at least 15 minutes of sunshine or bright light every day for our hormones to function optimally and keep our moods uplifted. The best way to receive this is by spending at least 15 minutes outdoors. You can achieve this by doing something as simple as eating your lunch outside or taking a short walk. 

Stretch Your Body. When your stress increases, your muscles tighten and contract. Stretching releases the tension from your muscles. This is one of the reasons why yoga and other forms of stretching are so effective in reducing cortisol levels. Stretch any time you need a refreshing break and remember to be gentle, hold postures until you feel your muscles release, take your time, and be patient! Before you know it, you'll not only feel more relaxed but you'll have more flexibility too! 

Cross Crawls. This marching-style movement is very helpful for stress and mental fatigue. March in place by lifting each knee high. When you do, touch the opposite hand or elbow to the knee. That's all you need to do for a minute or two! The body-crossing motion of your hands and arms helps balance the right and left hemispheres of your brain while the light aerobic factor revs up your metabolism and endorphins. 

Pamper yourself! If you've ever needed an excuse to treat yourself, this is a good reason to. Massages, facials, manicures, and pedicures all reduce stress levels. If you can't afford to pay for these spa treatments, do them yourself or with a friend or spouse at home! 

Brush Your Hair. It seems too simple to be true, but brushing your hair is both relaxing and good for you and helps get your stress hormones back in balance. The best hairbrush to use is an inexpensive one that has plain plastic bristles that are rough on the tips and can stimulate your scalp. 

Take Part in Arts, Crafts, and Hobbies. An activity that shifts you out of work mode and into a world of creativity, rhythm, or beauty will help you tackle everyday stress. The list of possibilities are endless, but here are some ideas: Handicrafts such as knitting, sewing, or quilting; visual arts like sketching, painting, photography, and scrap-booking; writing letters, poems, journal or blog entries; puzzles such as crossword and jigsaw puzzles or Sudoku; games like scrabble and monopoly; gardening, woodworking, home repair, reading, playing a musical instrument, and for some people cleaning, ironing, or house painting are stress soothers as well. Many enjoyable activities can reduce cortisol levels, but don't get out of control with your hobby! Do them as leisure activities without deadlines and urgency so that they don't add to your stress. 

Meditation and Prayer. Many people have had huge success with relieving stress by a process known as "stilling the mind." Research studies show that individuals who meditate regularly, meaning once or twice a day, experience better sleep, lowered blood pressure, and decreased risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. The basic technique for mediation is to sit still for 20 minutes twice a day, preferably morning and late afternoon. The meditator focuses on a mantra, which is a series of simply syllables, and repeats the mantra aloud or silently while breathing in and out. Contemplative prayer offers the same benefits.
