=== Queers and Stress ===


Hydro cortisol is our enemy. Our brains secrete it when we are stressed. A little bit, as I understand it, is good... short quick boost to help us spring into action. I'm sure AEK will comment. But when stress becomes a constant factor over long periods of time hydro cortisol really messes us up. In many ways... we get physically sick, depressed, bitchy, furious, etc.

So deal with your stress.


A public service of Steevo in Cali so cut the crap and deal!

Corrections: Cortisol is made in the adrenal glands that sit on top of the kidneys. Hydrocortisone is another name for cortisol. It's a steroid as it's derived from cholesterol.

A little cortisol is necessary for our bodies to adapt to stressors, without it we couldn't cope. But yeah, too much = depressed immune system, a craving for really bad foods, etc.
