Does it really affect our bodies that much? I know sleep and stress levels affect cortisol, but I swear there have been times where I got fat due to stress and sometimes Iâm stressed but I still got slimmer đ
yes, cortisol encourages fat to be deposited near abdomen to save them from later. whilst cortisol increase appetite, adrenaline according to my understanding will inhibit appetite. So itâs actually a combination of factors? maybe sometimes one is higher than the others.
so many factors - your mental health, your genes etc may all play a role, in theory.
certain cultures, ie. south asian cultures are also more prone to obesity due to evolution.
Even if I have the urge to eat, I usually just restrict myself so it doesnât go that bad. So many factors⊠I think my mental health may also be screwing things up here and there lol
