🌿 CORTISOL AWARENESS

Good morning, dear reader. Today, I want to talk to you about cortisol, which is so trendy nowadays...

THE BODY TAKES 7 HOURS TO RETURN TO NORMAL CORTISOL LEVELS AFTER A TANTRUM 😲.

Just 90 seconds of holding a feeling such as stress, hatred, anger, panic, etc., can alter the body’s biochemistry for up to 6 hours, and depending on its intensity, create an acidic body—leading to “illness.”

When we feel angry, the body goes into alert mode, releasing hormones like cortisol, known as the "stress hormone."

According to neuroscience, this reaction is part of our survival mechanism, but when anger persists, excess cortisol can have harmful effects on the body, such as increased blood pressure, faster heart rate, and decreased immune function.

After an outburst of anger, cortisol levels do not return to normal immediately. Studies show that it can take the body up to seven hours or more to regain its natural balance, depending on the intensity of the emotion and the individual’s ability to manage stress. During this time, the body remains on high alert, which can affect both physical and mental health.

This delay in returning to normal levels is a reminder of how intense emotions, such as anger and anxiety, can have a profound and lasting impact on our well-being.

That’s why it’s important to practice emotional control techniques, like deep breathing and meditation, to help reduce the duration and intensity of these physical responses. Staying calm and learning to manage anger in a healthy way not only protects the body and thyroid but also promotes a more balanced and peaceful life.

👉 Remember: cortisol is the stress hormone.

Receive a hug from the heart and remember to share.
