The stress you are feeling just increases the cortisol level that doesn’t work in your favor. Have you heard about stress-eating? – Well, that.
For those who can’t connect the dots, cortisol is the stress hormone that does the bigger damage in your body. The adrenal glands produce this steroid.
In fact, here is how the cortisol operates:
Despite your efforts for losing the excess fat and dealing with addictive foods, too much of this stress hormone could make things harder.

Let’s go:
Remove Stress Out of Your Life
Go to the mountains if you can. Take the camera with you and just relax.
Or, take a vacation. You will feel reborn when you come back.
Exercise
Whether that’s running, weight lifting, yoga, boxing, or something similar. You will feel healthy and stress-free after every workout.
Sleep
It’s vital for your health. Getting sleep enough will make sure that you create enough cortisol.Having too much cortisol leads to being anxious at night and tired during the day.
And that’s not what you need when it comes to being productive.
Anti-Inflammatory Diet
The diet I want you to take all the time. You just need to pay attention to healthy foods and avoid the processed foods.Healthy foods are high in anti-oxidants that aid your brain and body to control your cravings, balance hormones, and put you on the verge of losing the excess weight.
Avoid Stimulants
Too much caffeine affects your dopamine, adenosine, and adrenaline levels, as well.
I would add here meditation and yoga. It will give you amazing results once you achieve that perfect level.
