Cortisol

A steroid hormone that is produced by your 2 adrenal glands, which sit on top of each kidney. When you are stressed, increased cortisol is released into your bloodstream.

Having the right cortisol balance is essential for your health, and producing too much or too little cortisol can cause health problems.

Other factors that can affect cortisol levels include: 

  • Training level: cortisol response may be lower after exercise training program. 
  • Nutritional status: What you eat can affect cortisol levels.
  • Stress level: Being under a lot of stress can make cortisol issues worse. 
  • Cold showers: Shocking your body with cold showers can increase cortisol levels. 
Foods that can help reduce cortisol levels include: Dark chocolate, Holy basil, Fish, especially salmon, Broccoli, and Oranges
