Sound too good to be true? Well read on…<\/p>\n

Stress can come in many forms:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Physical stress \u2013 e.g. Exercise<\/li>\n
  2. Chemical stress \u2013 e.g. Medication<\/li>\n
  3. Electromagnetic stress – e.g. Computers\/mobile phones<\/li>\n
  4. Psychic or Mental stress – i.e. How you interpret stress<\/li>\n
  5. Nutritional stress – e.g. Poor diet<\/li>\n
  6. Thermal stress – e.g. Extreme heat\/cold<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The above can be broken into two types \u2013 internal stressors and external stressors.<\/p>\n

    The more stress your body is under from either internal or external stressors, the more stress hormones it will produce. When your body is over-burdened from producing and coping with stress hormones, it is not able to produce adequate levels or repair hormones to keep your body healthy and slim.<\/p>\n

    There is now a proven link between producing excess stress hormones (Cortisol) and gaining abdominal fat.<\/p>\n
