Abdominal Cortisol Fat
Lean women who are vulnerable to the effects of stress are more
likely to have excess abdominal cortisol fat, and have higher levels
of the stress hormone cortisol, a study conducted at Yale suggests
[1].
While past studies have examined cortisol in overweight women,
this study shows that lean women with abdominal cortisol fat have
exaggerated responses to cortisol.
"We also found that women with greater abdominal cortisol fat
had more negative moods and higher levels of life stress," says
Elissa S. Epel, Ph.D., lead investigator on the study.
"Greater exposure to life stress or psychological vulnerability to
stress may explain their enhanced cortisol reactivity. In turn, their
cortisol exposure may have led them to accumulate greater
abdominal cortisol fat."
Published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, the study looked
at pre-menopausal, non-overweight women, and overweight
women who stored fat either centrally — at the waist vs.
peripherally — at the hips, and examined their stress responses
over three consecutive days.
Cortisol is linked with an increase in central abdominal cortisol fat,
which is found around the organs. People with diseases
associated with extreme exposure to cortisol, such as severe
recurrent depression and Cushing’s disease also have large
amounts of visceral fat.
Not only is cortisol linked with the storage of abdominal cortisol fat,
it's also been linked to all kinds of health problems, including
diabetes, heart disease and depression. Cortisol may also weaken
your immune system, leaving you more susceptible to colds and flu
[3].
We have already mentioned that there are some unique dietary
supplements available to prevent abdominal cortisol fat. The
better ones like CortiDiet™ and Relacore™ will also assist in other
areas of weight loss such as thermogenesis and appetite control.
