Reduce Cortisol and Belly Fat
The stress hormone cortisol can cause belly fat. If you are trying to lose weight to reduce fat in your body yet still seem to have an accumulation of fat around your middle, you may have too much cortisol in your body. There are ways to control cortisol levels and reduce that belly fat.
What Is Cortisol? Cortisol is a hormone that increases in your body in response to stress. Cortisol has benefits to the body in the short term. According to Elizabeth Scott, M.S., this hormone can increase brain function and energy levels which can be beneficial in a stressful situation.
Although cortisol is beneficial in the short term, long term exposure in the body can cause you to lose bone mass and muscle mass and also cause collection of fat in the belly area. No matter how much you diet, as long as stressors remain and cortisol levels stay high, the belly fat will cling.
Yale University did a study on stress, cortisol and belly fat in women. They discovered that even thin women can gain larger amounts of belly fat due to cortisol levels in response to stressful situations. Although the study was performed with women, researchers believe the same effect may happen in men.
How Do I Reduce Cortisol and Belly Fat? To get rid of belly fat, you need to address both reducing stress and reducing fat. By using stress reduction, a healthy diet and exercise, you will be able to minimize the effects cortisol levels have on your belly fat.
Relaxation can take on many forms. You may find it more relaxing to spend time alone or you may prefer time with friends, whichever gives you more a sense of calm. You can also try yoga, meditation, deep breathing or journaling, among others. Be sure to try reducing your stress every day.
Eating a healthy, balanced diet can help you to lose weight. If you are counting calories, try not to worry too much over it. Research has shown that cutting too many calories or over-diligence in calorie counting can be stressful thus increasing cortisol levels and belly fat. You can read more about this in my article Cutting Calories Can Increase Stress Hormone Cortisol in Women. Also, drinking alcohol can increase cortisol levels in the body.
Exercise is important as well. Spot toning, targeting a certain area with specific exercises, will not get rid of your belly fat. You can't get rid of fat from one body area at a time. You need to get rid of fat all throughout the body. This is best done by using more calories than you take in. Good ways to burn lots of calories include aerobic exercises and circuit training.
Reduce Cortisol and Belly Fat. By keeping cortisol levels low, your diet and exercise plans will work better. Control your stress to help reduce cortisol levels and thus reduce belly fat.
