Did you know that one of the most common reasons for high cholesterol is excess stress?
When stress levels rise for a prolonged period of time, for days, weeks and months, the body produces higher than usual levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Cholesterol is made from cortisol, so to make more cortisol, the body needs to make more cholesterol.
Stress can raise cholesterol in two other common ways. Excess stress contributes to two other conditions that are well known to result in higher than normal cholesterol levels. Higher than usual levels of cortisol decrease thyroid function and leads to poor blood sugar regulation, also known as insulin resistance.
Nutrients such as vitamin C, A, magnesium, B6, niacinamide, and even amino acids such as lysine, proline and glycine, are known to play a role in regulating the levels of the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol.
