Pressure is an inevitable part of life. Although some pressure sources are difficult to control, you may be surprised to find that certain foods and drinks actually affect corticosterol. Corticol is an important hormone that helps regulate blood sugar, support immune function, and participates in the body's pressure response. Although cortical alcohol increase is normal in pressure situations, if it remains high for a long time, it will cause health burden.
The good news is that you can help adjust corticosteroids through diet selection. The Eatingwell website lists the following nutritionists to share 5 foods that may increase corticosterol and healthier alternatives.
1. Caffeine-containing beveragesAlthough morning coffee can refresh you, it may also shorten the corticosteroids.
Nutritionist Lorraine Kearney said that caffeine is a natural stimulant that activates the Middle Neurology and causes the kidney to release more cortical alcohol. Studies have shown that intake of caffeine in large quantities or under pressure conditions can lead to increased cortical alcohol. However, people who drink coffee often develop tolerance, which reduces this impact.
[Suggestion] If you are in a stage with greater pressure, you can reduce coffee, energy drinks and rich red tea to help you become more stable.
2. Fried foods
Potato bars, fried chickens, sausage rings and other fried foods contain high amounts of raw and fat and trans fat. Regular consumption of these highly processed, high-fat foods will increase inflammation and oxidative pressure and further stimulate the secretion of cortical alcohol.
In addition, fried foods are often accompanied by refined carbohydrates, which will cause rapid increase and decrease in blood sugar. The body will regard this "blood sugar cloud flying car" as a source of pressure, which promotes the secretion of cortical alcohol to maintain balance.
[Suggestion] Eat less fried food and choose the method of baking, roasting or frying
3. Alcohol
Although many people will drink and relax, alcohol will actually touch the body's pressure reaction.
Kearney pointed out that alcohol can interfere with blood sugar, causing excessive secretion of cortical alcohol. "Study found that whether it is occasionally or long-term drinking, it may increase corticosterol, and the risk of chronic drinking is higher, which is related to hypertension, weight increase and insomnia. Especially at night, drinking will dry the natural decline of corticosteroids, destroying sleep quality and increasing pressure.
[Suggestions] Reduce alcohol intake, or choose non-alcoholic mocktails
4. Highly processed foods
such as dry, quick food, sugary breakfast meat slices, etc., usually contain a lot of added sugar, fat and refined carbohydrates. Kearney said that long-term consumption of these foods can increase inflammation response and promote excessive activation of the immune system and corticosterol.
In addition, highly processed diet can also damage the balance of bacterial phases. Studies have shown that healthy and diverse kidney bacteria can help regulate stress response; bacterial phase imbalance may interfere with the regulation of corticosterol.
5. Although adding sugar
desserts can instantly bring pleasure, long-term high-sugar diets will affect the body's pressure reaction.
Coral alcohol may drop shortly after taking sugar, which makes people feel relieved because sugar will start the reward path of brain power. However, due to rapid digestion of sugar, blood sugar will rise and fall rapidly, forcing the body to release more cortical alcohol and other hormones (such as glucagon, kidney epinephrine) to maintain blood sugar balance.
【Suggestions】If you want to eat sweets, you can use foods with high fiber, healthy fat or protein to reduce blood sugar fluctuations
