Cortisol. Who knew! Too little, or none.. and you have Addison's
Disease and cannot handle stress without medication. Too much?
Weight gain, IBS, joint pain, hair loss, and more. This book not
only outlines the problems caused by stress, which causes too much
cortisol to be created by the body, but how to cope with it. Not
only will you be informed about what and how much damage can be
done to the body by too much stress/cortisol, but there are
recommendations on how to change it. Nutrition, supplements to take
or not to take? And of course a healthy diet and exercise are the
among the answers. This is not a gloom and doom book by any means.
This is a book that explains a problem, and gives simple and often
enjoyable approaches to controlling stress and the overproduction
of this hormone. Read a trashy novel, soak in a hot tub, give
yourself days off each week..hey, I can do that! Often books that
you think you should read to learn something you feel that you
should know about are dry and dull and agonizing to get through.
This one has bits of humor ( humans are not zebras!) and it
presents information in such a clear and simple way that I was able
to zip right through the pages, and make my way through it in 2
sittings. Even though I have read it cover to cover, you can be
sure that this is one that will spend a long time on my nightstand.
I want it to be available for quick reference and reminders of what
I should be doing and looking for. Not just a good and informative
read, but by all means, a keeper! - Kathleen Wagner, LibraryThing
