Addiction, cortisol level and signs of addiction
Cortisol Levels Could Play Role in Relapse After Alcohol Abstinence By Elements Behavioral Health Why is it that some individuals can drink alcohol on a regular basis and never develop an addiction, while others may become addicted rather quickly? Researchers for years have pointed to differences in our genetics and hormone levels as contributing factorsContinue reading “Addiction, cortisol level and signs of addiction”
Mental fatigue , adrenal gland dysfunction and craving sweets
Crave sweets Sugar increases our need for Vitamin B and C. Sugar robs the body of Vitamin B stores to handle nutrient-devoid sugar and adding burden to the adrenal gland, which is responsible for blood sugar regulation. The adrenals respond to sugar by putting out cortisol which leads to mineral deficiencies causing the body toContinue reading “Mental fatigue , adrenal gland dysfunction and craving sweets”
Stress-induced arousal impairs long term memory
A University of Virginia study was conducted to determine if stress enhance or impair memory Consolidation. Overall results provide consistent evidence that stress does not uniformly enhance memory consolidation. Although prior research has shown that stress during recall can interfere with memory, the current experiments obtained evidence of interference when stress was introduced after learningContinue reading “Stress-induced arousal impairs long term memory”
Antisocial personality disorder in 70% of prison inmates
Antisocial personality disorder Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), also known as dissocial personality disorder (DPD) and sociopathy, is apersonality disorder, characterized by a pervasive pattern of disregard for, or violation of, the rights of others. Prisoners An international team of Finnish, American, British, and Swedish researchers examined data from the Finnish CRIME sample — a databaseContinue reading “Antisocial personality disorder in 70% of prison inmates”
Intermittent stress is ok but not prolonged stress, killing brain cells
New research from the University of California, Berkeley, reveals an upside to experiencing moderate levels of stress. But it also reinforces how important it is to keep stress under control. The study, led by post-doctoral fellow Elizabeth Kirby, found that the onset of stress entices the brain into growing new cells responsible for improved memory.Continue reading “Intermittent stress is ok but not prolonged stress, killing brain cells”

Long-term stress higher among elderly men than in women as shown in hair samples from Dutch study
The Dutch study concluded that elevated long-term cortisol levels are associated with a history of cardiovascular disease. The increased cardiovascular risk we found is equivalent to the effect of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, suggesting that long-term elevated cortisol may be an important cardiovascular risk factor. Stress is associated with an increased incidence of cardiovascular disease.Continue reading “Long-term stress higher among elderly men than in women as shown in hair samples from Dutch study”
Pathogenetic Role of Cortisol in Metabolic Syndrome (stress and digestive health issues)
Connie’s notes: Stress can cause memory tangles, first step in Alzheimer’s disease. Stress, sugar and lack of sleep put too much load to the brain, making detox process difficult. Take your calcium and magnesium supplements during the afternoon and night time and strive to get enough sleep. Most brain disease starts with digestive issues suchContinue reading “Pathogenetic Role of Cortisol in Metabolic Syndrome (stress and digestive health issues)”
