Why do you get fatter the more tired you are? These two reasons have caused you to be targeted by "overwork obesity"...

There is a type of obesity that may be completely ineffective for exercise and dieting. This is stress-type obesity, commonly known as "overwork obesity."

The main factor causing overwork obesity is the disorder of cortisol in the human body.

Cortisol is a glucocorticoid secreted by the adrenal glands, which affects the body's metabolism and appetite.

When cortisol is stable in the human body, it can direct the body to break down fat, protein and sugar, adjust the ratio and control when to break down.

On the contrary, if it is unstable, it will not only be unable to direct the body to break down fat, protein and sugar, but will also cause insulin resistance, causing most of the ingested sugar to be converted into fat.

So, what factors affect the stability of cortisol?

One is the quality of sleep, and the other is the amount of fruit and vegetable intake.

A cortisol cycle is 24 hours. Under normal circumstances, it will fluctuate within a fixed value but will not exceed or fall below the corresponding area.

However, factors such as staying up late, insomnia, and insufficient intake of fruits and vegetables can cause cortisol disorders, causing it to fluctuate outside normal values ​​for a long time, thus destroying the stability of cortisol.

Therefore, if you want to restore cortisol to normal and avoid "overwork obesity", you need to ensure sleep duration, improve sleep quality, and consume sufficient fruits and vegetables.
