Ginger Against Cortisol and Chronic Stress
Chronically elevated cortisol causes abdominal weight gain, insomnia, fatigue, immunosuppression, and accelerated aging. Ginger naturally modulates cortisol.
How Ginger Acts on Cortisol
- HPA Axis Modulation — regulates the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis
- Reduction of Serum Cortisol — animal studies show a significant decrease
- Serotoninergic Support — improves mood and stress resilience
- Anti-inflammatory — chronic stress causes inflammation; ginger reduces it
- Neuroprotection — protects the brain from cortisol damage
Turmeric Amplifies the Effect
Curcumin has a demonstrated anxiolytic effect and reduces cortisol independently of ginger. Together = synergy.
Sugar Increases Cortisol
Glycemic spikes trigger a cortisol response. A concentrate with 34g sugar/100ml increases cortisol instead of reducing it.
