Here’s a list of the possible adverse effects of excess
stress and cortisol. Which ones are medically correct?
- Suppressing the immune system
- Lowering thyroid function
- Increasing blood pressure and cardiovascular disease
- Slowing the healing process
- Causing osteoporosis from loss of bone density
- Contributing to muscle wasting
- Contributing to diabetes
- Increasing appetite, obesity, and abdominal fat
- Raising toxicity for brain cells
- Increasing incidence of depression and tendency toward Alzheimer’s Disease
- Shutting down the reproductive system
You’ve already guessed – ALL OF THE ABOVE!
Now do you see the importance of controlling stress and
cortisol – through exercise, meditation, proper nutrition and Sanyx, of course.
I suspect that you will find interesting the article below, which discusses the function of cortisol in the body as a hormone that inversely mobilizes the body against potassium wasting intestinal diseases, and in http://charles_w.tripod.com/cortisol.html with the references and links. If you see anything that can be improved please let me know. You may see a journal article that discusses this briefly in the 1998 vol. 51 issue of Medical Hypotheses, p 289-292.
