Notes
Other Natural Ways to Manage Cortisol Levels
The cortisol cocktail is a great addition to your routine, but it’s important to adopt other healthy habits to cope with stress:- Regular Exercise: Physical activity reduces cortisol and releases endorphins and temperament. Drop 30 minutes of moderate physical activity most of the week.
- Mindfulness and Meditation: These can help with stress, anxiety, depression, pain, smoking, and addiction. They can also help physical health.
- Healthy Diet: A good diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and entire grains can help balance blood sugar levels and mitigate the effect of weight on the body.
- Adequate Sleep: Enough sleep leads to better mood, concentration, immune system function, and stress level and lower risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.
- Stay Hydrated: Dehydration may cause cortisol to rise. Ensure you stay hydrated throughout the day.
