Easing Anxiety: Natural Ways To Reduce Cortisol Levels

Cortisol is known as the stress hormone and although it plays a key part in our body’s function, high levels of it can have bad effects. Some of the effects include anxiety, decreased libido and muscle weakness, so here are a few ways to correct those levels. The first thing that you need to do is to get sufficient sleep as a rested body and mind will help you deal with stressful situations better. Next, you should exercise regularly as not only is it good for your mind, but it also helps release built-up tension and stress in your body. It is also advised to practice relaxation techniques like meditation or deep breathing exercises which will help lower your heart rate and blood pressure. You should also learn why you’re stressed out and plan out a way of fixing these issues in order to lower your cortisol levels. Lastly, healthy distractions are beneficial as they will help regulate your stress levels, so finding a hobby you can regularly do is helpful.
