“Cortisol is one of the body’s key stress hormones, best known for its role in our ‘flight or fight’ instincts. When we are stressed and on high alert, the adrenal glands produce more cortisol. The hormone then goes to work shutting down various bodily functions that might get in the way of survival. Once the crisis has passed, cortisol levels should drop, and the body systems should return to normal. But if your alarm button stays pressed, the body can continue to malfunction, leading to anxiety, depression, heart disease, headaches, weight gain, trouble sleeping, and, of course, memory and concentration problems.”
“High levels of cortisol were associated with more damage to the parts of the brain that move information throughout the brain and between the two hemispheres of the brain. In addition, the brains of people with higher cortisol levels had smaller cerebrums, the two hemispheres of the brain responsible for thought, emotions, speech and muscle functions, the study found.”
