A "quiet" prescription to beat a hormone that hinders weight loss
The German Federal Center for Health Education stated that stress hinders weight loss; As it leads to the secretion of the stress hormone "cortisol", which causes the metabolism to slow down, especially the process of burning fat.
In order to avoid this, the German Center recommends combating psychological tension through relaxation techniques such as yoga and meditation, and progressive muscle relaxation, while maintaining exercise and movement activities that stimulate the metabolism.
It is also important to get enough sleep at a rate of 6 to 8 hours, in addition to drinking enough water, ranging from one and a half to three liters.
