High Cortisol Level
Cortisol is a hormone often associated with overtraining or other
types of stress. Cortisol serves a number of positive roles in our
bodies; however, a high cortisol level can be detrimental to both
recovery time and strength gains, and it can potentially add
unwanted fat. A high cortisol level triggers the breakdown of
muscle protein into amino acids, which are then converted to
glucose in the liver and used as a fuel source during times of
stress. That's not good for bodybuilders!
The purported cortisol blocker products are the latest in the
ever-changing weight-loss category of dietary supplements. Some
of these may be effective, especially those that contain
phosphatidylserine (PS). This extensively researched and proven
cognition-enhancing ingredient has very exciting potential with
regard to suppressing a high cortisol level and its catabolic effects.
Because PS assists the entry of nutrients into and the exit of
toxins out of cells, stress-induced cell damage supposedly can be
minimized. The jury is still out on it, and some cortisol blockers do
not contain PS.
You can limit a high cortisol level through diet. Because the body is
conditioned to conserve fuel by tearing down lean tissue during
times of stress (such as during intense exercise), it is very
important to continuously provide muscles with fuel both during
and after exercise. If fuel is readily available during these times of
stress, the chance that a high cortisol level will wreak havoc on
your lean tissue is significantly decreased. The take-home
message here is to drink something that contains carbs and whey
protein throughout your workout.
