YOGYAKARTA Stress in a busy modern world, synonymous with the dynamics of life. The influence of stress, turns out to affect many aspects of health. Including the waist circumference widens because of the degree of body cortisol.

Cortisol does many important things in the body. Among them helps us overcome changes in the environment. But the problem in modern life is when cortisol works almost 24/7 can create a new set of problems. One of the problems that is often overlooked is the addition of weight to the stomach.

The release of cortisol in the body causes fat to be available as fuel or transferred from its storage area (for example in the legs and thighs) to the vital organs in the stomach as a 'protector' mechanism at a time of stress. Although this may be a good thing in ancient human times that lived in the cave, it is not good for our current health. If we live in a stressed state that is regular, day after day, our belly fat will accumulate so that we are vulnerable to other problems.

This is something cunning about stress because your body cannot distinguish between'Felt' stress or 'true'.Stress can be caused by real threats, such as job loss/outage trauma, but can also be caused by finer triggers such as anxiety and anxiety. For example, overenercing oneself in exercise, being obsessed with strict diets, sacrificing sleep to follow fitness classes until late and using cortisol as a booster.

Excess fat around the stomach is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and colon cancer. Why? Well, this type of fat has its own mind. It produces toxins that have a negative impact on the way the body operates and produces chemicals such as cytokines that increase inflammation.
