Acupuncture & Cortisol Levels

Growth hormone, help us to build the muscle and creating metabolic level. On the other hand, the stress hormone, the cortisone, will break the muscle and redeposit in abdomen area as a fat tissue. And this happens to two groups of people; one is, when people are exposed to high stress for long time, then they have increase high cortisone level to cope with the stress. And so they break down their muscle, their metabolic level decreasing and they are redeposit in abdominal area. And the other situation where the cortisone did the same thing, to break down the muscle, is when people chronically use artificial cortisone, like prednisone, to treat asthma, to treat rheumatoid arthritis. And this will also break down the muscle, decreasing the metabolic level. Acupuncture can by used to optimize the cortisone level so that the body will not continuously break down the muscle.
