During anxiety, cortisol is released in our bodies whenever we face tense and anxious moments. The adrenal glands in our bodies secrete a type of “fight-or-flight” hormones called cortisol, together with adrenaline. These stress hormones turbo-charge us to deal with the immediate emergency that we are facing. We feel energized, powered up, with clarity of mind to make instant important decisions.
In our high-stress culture, our body’s response to stress is activated so frequently, that it is not given a chance to return to normal.
Prolonged high levels of cortisol can lead to heart disease and damage our liver. Other negative effects might include higher blood pressure, higher levels of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and lower levels of “good” cholesterol (HDL), impaired cognitive performance, blood sugar imbalances such as hyperglycemia, suppressed thyroid function, decreased bone density, decrease in muscle tissue, weak immune system, slow wound healing, and even increased abdominal fat, also known as belly fat!
