Cortisol works as an indicator for stressful situations but it is better to reduce cortisol as it can produce adverse effects on the body. It is a steroid hormone produced and released by endocrine and adrenal glands near the kidney, which gets transported to other parts of the body. Every cell in the body has cortisol receptors, so it might act according to the situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cortisol also regulates other processes in the body like blood sugar levels, metabolism, immune response, etc. Stress is the main trigger for this hormone, as it regulates the body to respond under fight or flight circumstances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cortisol levels keep fluctuating every day, higher during the mornings and lowering through the rest of the day. The process is called the Diurnal Rhythm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
