heheh
może sie wydawać ale uczucie 'błogości' a poziom kortyzolu to dwie inne sprawy
co do
THC:
akurat podnosi poziom kortyzolu
jak duzo zależy od dawki i od częstotliwości palenia
im częściej tym efekt jest stłumiony
tak samo
alkohol:
' Recent research supports this strong association between high alcohol use and heightened cortisol levels.
One recent study revealed that alcoholics had three to four times higher hair cortisol concentrations than abstinent alcoholics or non-alcoholics (consistent with previous research showing periods of alcohol consumption are associated with heightened cortisol levels). Abstinent alcoholics and non-alcoholics had the same low levels of cortisol, suggesting that cortisol levels eventually return to normal after extended cessation.
The results indicate that, in a large community dwelling population, alcohol consumption has a positive relationship with cortisol release over the day. An increased number of alcohol units consumed per week and heavy drinking are associated with increased cortisol levels.'
czy
papierosy:
'Salivary cortisol is increased in current smokers, compared with nonsmokers; no differences were observed between ex-smokers and never-smokers, suggesting that smoking has a short-term effect on the neuroendocrine system.'
Nie do konca jest tak że to co 'psychicznie' czy tymczasowo nas uspokaja i odstresowuje - działa tak samo na kortyzol.
czasami jest wrecz odwrotnie!

Ways to Reduce your Cortisol:
1. Use cortisol reduction supplements: I use a variety of herbs in my clinic to reduce cortisol at peak times. Some of my favorites include: ashwaghanda, phosphatidylserine, and rhodiola rosea.
2. Eat at regular intervals throughout the day: Avoid skipping meals, as this will create a cortisol release.
3. Eat right for your Metabolic Type: Excessive carbohydrate intake creates cortisol release in response to constantly elevated insulin levels. Find out your metabolic type and eat consistently with it.
4. Utilize stress reduction techniques at peak cortisol times: Neuro-linguistic Programming, meditation, self-hypnosis, or simply lying on the floor doing belly breathing for 10-15 minutes can work wonders at reducing stress and thus cortisol levels.
5. Get to bed on time: Get to bed by 10:30 pm at the latest.
6. Avoid stimulants: Stay away from energy drinks that contain ephedra-like compounds and caffeine. Stimulants shift the body into sympathetic dominance, ie. "fight or flight". Stimulants can also disrupt your sleeping patterns. If you must have your daily coffee, be sure that you do not drink any after 12 noon.
7. Keep your workouts under 1 hour: At the 1 hour mark, your testosterone levels begin to decline and cortisol levels rise. Forty-five minute workouts are even better.
8. Do not overtrain: Strength coach
Charles Poliquin recommends not training more than 2 days in a row. Doing so will simply overtax the hormonal system and therefore increase cortisol levels. Listen to your body. If you do not feel recovered from your previous workout, simply take an extra day off or reduce the number of sets you perform in your workout. '
