The dangers of cortisol: 7 tips to lower your cortisol!
Have you ever heard of cortisol? This stress hormone plays a major role in how your body deals with stress. Although cortisol can be useful in emergency situations, too much of this hormone can be very harmful. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to lower your cortisol levels. Read on and discover how you can integrate more relaxation into your daily life, including wonderful moments with our Spoon Moment tea.
What is Cortisol?
Cortisol is a hormone produced by your adrenal glands. It helps your body deal with stress by increasing your alertness and energy. Normally, your cortisol level is highest in the morning and decreases throughout the day. However, with chronic stress, your cortisol levels can remain consistently high, which can lead to endless health problems such as:
- Insomnia
- A weakened immune system
- Weight gain or weight loss
- Raised blood pressure
- Loss of muscle strength
- Digestive problems
- Headache
- Difficulty concentrating
Do you recognize one or more symptoms and feel that your cortisol level is too high? Then you can easily have this tested by your doctor.
Tips to Lower Your Cortisol
- Regular Relaxation Create moments of peace in your daily routine. This can be as simple as meditating for a few minutes, taking a walk in nature, or listening to soothing music.
- Enjoy a Spoon Moment A relaxing tea moment can do wonders for your stress level. Our Matcha Spoon offers a balanced form of caffeine and contains L-Theanine, which has a calming effect on your nervous system and can lower cortisol. Our Curcuma Spoon is also a great choice, as turmeric is known for its ability to reduce cortisol and improve sleep quality.
- Exercise Regularly Light to moderate exercise, such as yoga or a brisk walk in nature, can help lower your cortisol levels. It also promotes the production of endorphins, which can improve your mood.
- Healthy Diet Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and healthy fats. Our Ginger Spoon contains magnesium and antioxidants, both of which help lower your cortisol levels.
- Enough Sleep Get a good night's sleep by maintaining a consistent sleep schedule. Avoid caffeine and screen time right before bed.
- Breathing Exercises Try deep breathing or other breathing techniques to quickly reduce your stress levels. This can help calm your nervous system and lower your cortisol levels.
- Social Connections Spend time with friends and family. Social interaction and support can have a huge positive influence on your stress level and therefore on your cortisol level.
