Cortisol is the hormone that deals with stress. Our body releases this hormone. Unfortunately, the high cortisol levels are related to the increased levels of abdominal fat. Do you want to reduce your cortisol and to burn more fat from the belly? You should read carefully and you can start immediately, so that you can feel the outcomes in very short time. Let’s start:
Work less
According to some studies, the results of working for more than 48 hours per week are: increased stress, increased the likelihood of consuming alcohol, smoking cigarettes and other unhealthy habits. These can be transferred out of the normal limits.
The consumption of alcohol increases the cortisol and causes an increase of the abdominal fat. So, you have to reduce the working hours, if you want to reduce the size of the belly.
Don’t consume caffeine after 18:00 h.
If you consume caffeine at night, it can double the cortisol level.It has a negative effect on the sleeping quality. It is very important to avoid the caffeine in the evening, because the lack of sleep increases the cortisol.
Take a break & turn yourself “off”
According to a recent Canadian research, those who are “involved”, especially on todays’ technology in the daytime, like using smart phones, computers, TV, have higher stress than those who take a break during the day, or take time to “switch off”.
Keep in mind that more stress equals more abdominal fat.
