Cortisol is often misunderstood as simply a stress hormone, but it actually plays a crucial role in the body's daily functions. Produced by the adrenal glands, cortisol helps regulate metabolism, immune response, and blood pressure. It is essential for maintaining energy levels and overall well-being.
While cortisol is commonly associated with stress, it is important to note that it serves a protective function in the body. In times of acute stress, cortisol helps mobilize resources for fight or flight responses. However, chronic stress can lead to prolonged elevation of cortisol levels, which can have negative effects on health.
Contrary to popular belief, cortisol is not inherently harmful. In fact, it is necessary for survival and plays a key role in the body's response to stress. The key lies in maintaining a healthy balance of cortisol levels through proper stress management techniques and lifestyle choices.
