It turns out that weight management is among the most frequent problems today all around the world. A few scientific studies published not while ago that have been focused on the process of reducing fat have shown that cortisol is directly linked to the presence of belly fat.
Here’s what you’ll need to do:
1. Don’t Work So Hard
Scientific studies have confirmed that in case you are involved in work for about 50 hours a week or more, your stress levels will be higher than normal. In addition, there is a higher chance that you will drink more alcohol, smoke more cigarettes and practice more habits that are not good for the health. It is good to know that drinking alcohol boosts cortisol levels and affects the abdominal fat layer in a negative way. In case you want to shrink your belly, lower the intake of alcohol and cut the working hours.2. Never Take Caffeine After 6 pm
It was confirmed that caffeine is increasing cortisol level (twice more cortisol is produced when caffeine is present in the body). This is especially true when it comes to taking caffeine after 6 pm. This practice also affects the quality of sleep. So, stay away from source of caffeine in the evening.3. Find Time to Relax
A research conducted in Canada a few months ago has confirmed that people who are busy all the time especially those who are using tech gadgets like computers, smartphones and tablets are experiencing unusually high levels of stress compared to people who have regular breaks throughout the day and those who are relaxing every once in a while.Don’t forget that stress boosts abdominal fat levels!
