Sharp tools can do a good job. If you want to do a good job, you must be fully prepared and have enough theoretical support to lose weight, so that you can know in detail what you need to pay attention to at ordinary times. Only in this way can you complete this task with a success rate of only 3%.
Okay, let's get down to business. What is cortisol?
Cortisol is the only substance secreted by adrenal cortex, which has the strongest effect on carbohydrate metabolism. It is a catabolic hormone, sometimes called stress hormone.
In this article, I will analyze the above sentences to arm our minds.
Cortisol is the only substance secreted by adrenal cortex. This sentence is about where cortisol comes from. We don't have to worry about this, just look at the next sentence.
It has the strongest effect on carbohydrate metabolism. This sentence shows that cortisol is dominant in the regulation of sugar. In other words, whether all sugary foods we usually eat, such as rice, fruit, bread and sweets, will become fat or be metabolized is mainly determined by cortisol. Even cortisol makes us particularly eager before eating these foods.
When we are stressed, our appetite will increase greatly, especially for girls, and their desire for sweets will become particularly strong. In fact, this is because of the increase of cortisol. So when you find yourself craving sugary food, you can basically be sure that cortisol is at work.
It is a catabolic hormone. This sentence refers to three nutrients in our body: sugar, protein and fat. The time and proportion of their decomposition will be affected by cortisol. Although these three nutrients will be regulated by it, it has a greater decomposition effect on our muscles, that is, protein, which can accelerate muscle decomposition and even inhibit its synthesis.
From this point of view, we'd better not exercise during the period of cortisol rising, such as doing aerobic exercise on an empty stomach in the morning, and the cortisol level in the body will be high in the morning. Coupled with low fasting blood sugar, cortisol rises, and aerobic training, cortisol levels can't be higher, and your muscles will fall into your tears at this time.
Sometimes called stress hormones. What is stress? For example, Chestnut: Jurassic World has been very popular recently. Imagine that when you were chased by a group of dinosaurs, you were too scared to move, but at this time, due to the outbreak of stress hormone cortisol in the body, the body began to decompose three nutrients in our body and let us escape.
In fact, when it comes to stress hormones, adrenaline is more dominant, just like putting out a fire. The first wave is adrenaline, and the second wave is cortisol's turn to clean up the mess. Cortisol cleaning up the mess is more manifested in inhibiting body inflammation and increasing appetite to increase the synthesis of fat and glucose to make up for the "energy consumed in the first wave of fire fighting."
It can be seen that cortisol stress can be divided into two types, one is direct catabolism, which allows us to escape, and the other is indirect absorption, which allows us to gain energy. These all come from the ancient genes that protect ourselves in our bodies.
From the above reading, we must know something about cortisol. In the next article, I will explain in detail how to regulate cortisol in our body and update it constantly. ......
