En wat doet stress nog allemaal verstoren?
Meerderen onder ons ervaren nog steeds gezondheidsproblemen ondanks de gezonde voeding. Het reduceren van stress is een even belangrijk onderdeel om optimale gezondheid te bereiken.
Hier een interessant stuk met wetenschappelijke uitleg over hoe stress de vitamine D opname verstoort (en wellicht nog veel meer):
According to recent studies reported by the Body Ecology website, cortisol, the flight or fight hormone, can disrupt your body’s vitamin D3 uptake.
If cortisol is produced by chronic stress that can’t be acted upon by running or fighting for your life, the cortisol builds up in your body. This is the situation with many of us who try to suppress chronic low level stress and carry on with what many consider “normal” life.
Here’s another factor according to the report: Normally, cortisol production decreases from midnight to 4 a.m. Staying up past midnight creates an irregular cortisol production pattern that may result in increased cortisol in your body as it tries to compensate. That’s not good news for us night owls.
How does this happen? Vitamin D is a steroid hormone, and so is cortisol. Hormones need receptors in the body to perform their magic. The receptors for vitamin D3 are called simply vitamin D receptors (VDR).
So regardless of how much Vitamin D3 we take in, if it can’t find receptors, it just floats around in the blood with deceptively high D3 blood level counts. Cortisol is also a hormone. It is a prominent member of the glucocorticoid class of hormones, which diminish VDR capabilities.
Therefore, in addition to maintaining or increasing vitamin D3 intake, try to sleep regular hours and learn to stress less.
Is dat ook de reden waarom ik nog steeds elke morgen te vroeg wakker wordt, zo rond 4 uur ongeveer omdat mijn cortisol ineens te fel omhoog piekt en dan weer teveel zakt gedurende bepaalde tijden van de dag?
