Cortisol levels in the body have for a long time been linked to stress and depression. It is the stress hormone that is involved in a vicious feedback loop when one is chronically depressed.
When threatened or under pressure the body increases the level of cortisol in the blood, which causes the body to produce Adrenal hormone ACTH. This in turn stimulates more cortisol.
For a healthy person, it can be easy to step out of the feedback loop when one is threatened but when one is continuously under pressure or stress, this becomes more difficult and a negative feedback loop prevails where one becomes more and more heavy.
However there are ways out. Reducing the consumption of caffeine, alcohol can help along with increasing the consumption of Omega 3
