To Increase, You Must Reduce

by Lachandra B. Baker, ABC Health and Wellness Consultant Lala Baker Wraps & Supplements

Do you ever feel guilty taking time for yourself? Caregivers often do. We are called upon to do so much for so many people. If you have a loved one that is sick or aging, the demands become even greater. Being pulled in so many directions for long periods of time can cause your own needs to be neglected. Do you eat the right things? Do you get enough rest? How is your mental and physical health?

According to a 2009 American Psychology Association survey, 70% of women and 63% of men say they are stressed about health problems affecting their families. Because of these stressful conditions, 56% of women and 40% of men reported eating poorly and 48% reported overeating or eating unhealthy foods to manage stress. Women, especially, tend to carry stress in their upper abdomens. What is generally referred to as “muffin top” can be a direct result of increased Cortisol in the system.

Cortisol is a naturally occurring hormone in the body caused by stress. Cortisol has been termed the “stress hormone” because excess Cortisol is secreted during times of physical or psychological stress, and the normal pattern of Cortisol secretion (with levels highest in the early morning and lowest at night) can be altered. This disruption of Cortisol secretion may not only promote weight gain, but it can also affect where you put on the weight. Some studies have shown that stress and elevated Cortisol tend to cause fat deposition in the abdominal area rather than in the hips. This fat deposition has been referred to as “toxic fat” since abdominal fat deposition is strongly correlated with the development of cardiovascular disease including heart attacks and strokes.
