Lower Cortisol Levels with Vaxa Adapt

Vaxa Adapt can help to naturally lower cortisol levels. Cortisol is a stress hormone that is secreted from glands on top our kidneys. It’s sort of a milder version of adrenaline. This kind of hormone is built into our systems for us to respond effectively to stressful situations. Cortisol can tap into our stored energy resources and convert it quickly into energy that can trigger the “fight-or-flight” response to stressful situations.

We didn’t have any problems with our cortisol levels during olden times. However, today, we are bombarded with stressors, such as bill payments, work-related stress, poor food choices, overtraining, and lack of sleep. Every time we are stressed, our bodies produce cortisol and so with daily stress comes unhealthy cortisol levels.

Too much cortisol is detrimental to our health. This may lead to a variety of health problems including  adrenal fatigue, heart disease, hormonal imbalances, high blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

Cortisol is also essential for our normal sleeping routines. Our cortisol level production peaks at 8:00 AM so you can start your day. Then, throughout the day, it drops to its lowest levels at about 8:00 to 10:00 PM. This allows you to fall asleep. However, because of stress, this normal cortisol rhythm is destroyed.

How can you keep to healthy levels of cortisol? Here are a few tips you can follow to maintain normal cortisol levels and rhythm.

1. Don’t miss a meal. Eating regularly will help you lower your cortisol levels as skipping meals cause your body to release cortisol.
2. Eat according to your metabolic type. When you eat too much carbohydrates, your body releases cortisol to stabilize your rising insulin levels. 
3. Relax during peak cortisol times. Try relaxation techniques to lower your cortisol production, such as lying down on the floor and belly breathing for 5 to 10 minutes. 
4. Sleep earlier. You should get to bed on time at about 10:30 PM.
5. Avoid stimulants. Energy drinks with ephedra-like substances and caffeine can shift your body into sympathetic dominance. If you must drink your coffee, drink them in the mornings. 
6. Don’t overtrain. If you’re exercising, try to keep your workouts under one hour. Working out for more than one hour will lead to declining testosterone levels and your cortisol hormones then help out. Don’t train for more than two days in a row. Listen to your body and allow it to rest.
7. Drink cortisol reduction supplements such as Vaxa Adapt which contain natural adaptogens which lower cortisol levels without side effects.

Lower cortisol levels is the secret to a healthy lifestyle. When you keep your cortisol levels to a minimum, you’ll be less likely to experience health problems in the long run. So, now you realize why Adapt with natural adaptogens is important to help you with stress.
