How to control cortisol and reduce stress effectively

Thanh Thanh (T/H) |

Maintaining stress-reducing habits, exercising regularly, and living on time can help stabilize cortisol levels and improve overall health.

Prioritize stress management

Controlling stress is one of the effective ways to maintain stable cortisol levels. You can incorporate methods such as meditation and deep breathing into your daily routine. If you love exercise, yoga is also a suitable choice because it can help reduce cortisol levels, even when the body is stressed.

Maintain exercise

High-intensity exercise in the evening can cause cortisol to temporarily increase, but maintaining moderate intensity physical activity regularly helps the body adapt better to stress and supports cortisol regulation. Regular exercise also contributes to maintaining the natural cortisol secretion rate, with high levels in the morning and gradually decreasing in the evening.

Maintain regular living habits

Consistency in daily activities plays an important role in the circadian rhythm and cortisol regulation process. Try to maintain wake-up time, bedtime, eating time, exercise and exposure to natural light at fixed times to help the body function more stably and healthily.
