The main attribute of this stress hormone, running side by side with the negative muscle fibers is its ability to break muscle protein, that is, cortisol literally takes the energy straight from muscle. Cortisol also promotes fat deposition in the abdominal cavity. In some cases, the possibility of such negative processes in the human body? As you might expect – in different kinds of negative situations, accompanied by emotional stress. They can be: quarrels, scandals, emotion and other such negative phenomena.
To counter such stress is necessary stress is positive, namely weight training. When training with the iron in the body aktiviziruyutsya hormones that raise muscles. In this process these hormones gain up over cortisol. And, since it was mentioned about body fat in the abdominal cavity because of cortisol, you should not forget about cardio exercise.

In addition, cortisol can be combated by supporting optimal glucose and amino acids in the body, that is not to forget to eat carbohydrates and whey protein. These elements will help the body to suppress the secretion of cortisol.
In addition, it is recommended to make a meal before going to sleep, so during sleep the body is maintained at the proper level of glucose and amino acids, which again prevents the cortisol and prevents muscle from the so-called "topping".
