A menudo, las personas cometen el error de centrarse tanto en estos dos factores que pasan por alto el profundo impacto que el estr\u00e9s tiene en el cuerpo humano. Si bien es cierto que no se puede \u201ccompensar\u201d una mala alimentaci\u00f3n con el ejercicio, es casi imposible perder grasa corporal y mantener la masa muscular si se est\u00e1 en un estado de estr\u00e9s.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><br\/>El problema con la sociedad mayoritaria es que queremos entender el estr\u00e9s de una manera que nos permita asumir m\u00e1s, con el objetivo de gestionarlo en lugar de reducirlo. Felicitamos y convertimos en h\u00e9roes a aquellos que pueden quemarse las pesta\u00f1as sin derrumbarse. <strong>Pero el agotamiento es inevitable.<\/strong> Y aunque podamos mostrar una apariencia tranquila, nuestro estado interior nunca miente.<br\/>\n<br\/>El estr\u00e9s f\u00edsico y emocional se manifiestan internamente de la misma manera: ambos liberan hormonas, adrenalina y cortisol, en el torrente sangu\u00edneo. Esta combinaci\u00f3n de hormonas ha sido vital para la supervivencia humana desde los tiempos de las cavernas., <strong>desencadenando la respuesta de \u201chuida o lucha\u201d<\/strong> lo que nos ayuda a reaccionar r\u00e1pidamente y pensar con claridad cuando estamos en peligro. El problema es que el cuerpo no puede distinguir entre ser perseguido por un tigre dientes de sable y tener una bandeja de entrada repleta de correos electr\u00f3nicos, la respuesta al estr\u00e9s es la misma. En cualquiera de las dos situaciones, la adrenalina aumenta la frecuencia card\u00edaca, eleva la presi\u00f3n arterial y aumenta el suministro de energ\u00eda, mientras que el cortisol, la principal hormona del estr\u00e9s, aumenta los niveles de az\u00facar en sangre y el suministro de glucosa al cerebro.<br\/>\n<br\/>Aunque puede tratarse de una respuesta aguda que salva vidas, los niveles elevados de adrenalina y cortisol a lo largo del tiempo provocan <strong>estr\u00e9s cr\u00f3nico<\/strong> lo que se ha convertido en un grave problema de salud en la cultura occidental. En una cultura en la que se ense\u00f1a a gestionar el estr\u00e9s en lugar de reducirlo, las personas suelen pasar por alto el estr\u00e9s como factor que contribuye a su salud. Las dietas bajas en calor\u00edas, los suplementos excesivos y las dietas detox parecen aplicarse antes de abordar el verdadero problema del estr\u00e9s cr\u00f3nico y la consiguiente falta de sue\u00f1o.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Entonces, \u00bfc\u00f3mo afecta el estr\u00e9s a la composici\u00f3n corporal?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Si eres una persona comprometida con cambiar tu composici\u00f3n corporal, los estudios demuestran que, aunque comas bien y hagas ejercicio con regularidad, el estr\u00e9s cr\u00f3nico elevado puede impedir la p\u00e9rdida de grasa y el aumento de masa muscular. Esto se debe a:<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>1. Hormonas <\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>El cuerpo humano bloquea las reservas de grasa cuando hay hormonas del estr\u00e9s en el torrente sangu\u00edneo. Se trata de una reacci\u00f3n de supervivencia ancestral y el principal mecanismo que inhibe la p\u00e9rdida de grasa.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>2. Dormir mal<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Se ha demostrado que el estr\u00e9s mantiene despierta por la noche al 40% de la poblaci\u00f3n estadounidense y, de hecho, la preocupaci\u00f3n se ha identificado como la principal causa del insomnio. Esto afecta a la p\u00e9rdida de peso de dos maneras. En primer lugar, la falta de sue\u00f1o suele llevar al consumo de cafe\u00edna o alcohol para sentirse mejor, lo que agrava a\u00fan m\u00e1s el ciclo y provoca picos y bajones extremos de energ\u00eda. En segundo lugar, la falta de sue\u00f1o afecta a la regulaci\u00f3n de las hormonas grelina y leptina, que controlan el apetito. \u00bfSabes cuando est\u00e1s cansado, tienes hambre, pero nada parece satisfacer tus antojos? Tu cuerpo necesita una buena noche de sue\u00f1o.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>3. Antojos<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Cuando estamos estresados, anhelamos alimentos que nos den energ\u00eda por razones biol\u00f3gicas y psicol\u00f3gicas. Los alimentos azucarados nos proporcionan una dosis r\u00e1pida de carbohidratos que liberan serotonina, la hormona del bienestar. Los alimentos ricos en grasas y az\u00facares proporcionan un aumento de energ\u00eda y pueden tener un efecto calmante temporal.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>\u00bfLas buenas noticias?<\/strong> Modificar el estr\u00e9s tendr\u00e1 un profundo impacto en tu salud. El \u00fanico inconveniente es que requiere cierta reflexi\u00f3n y an\u00e1lisis cr\u00edtico de tu vida. A menudo, son peque\u00f1os cambios los que marcan una gran diferencia en tus niveles generales de estr\u00e9s.<br\/>\n<br\/>Prueba estas 5 estrategias para reducir el estr\u00e9s hoy mismo:<br\/>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li><strong> Meditaci\u00f3n<\/strong> \u2013 Se ha demostrado que tan solo 10 minutos al d\u00eda ayudan a controlar el estr\u00e9s, reducir la ansiedad y mejorar la salud cardiovascular y las relaciones.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Ponte en contacto <\/strong>\u2013 Hablar con amigos, familiares o profesionales de la salud es \u00fatil para superar situaciones estresantes.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Priorizar \u2013<\/strong> Reduce tu carga. Decir \u2018no\u2019 a eventos, trabajo extra o actividades adicionales es muy poderoso. Dedica tiempo a hacer aquellas cosas que te ilusionan y elimina las actividades que te \u2018roban\u2019 energ\u00eda.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Desenchufar \u2013 <\/strong>Designa un d\u00eda a la semana para desconectarte por completo de la tecnolog\u00eda.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Sintoniza \u2013<\/strong> Escucha a tu cuerpo y toma medidas preventivas antes de llegar al agotamiento.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<br\/>Si sacas alguna conclusi\u00f3n de esto, simplemente entiende que el estr\u00e9s no es algo que puedas ocultar sin pagar el precio m\u00e1s adelante. \u00bfQuieres reducir la grasa? Entonces es hora de <strong>escucha a tu cuerpo<\/strong>. Aprovecha al m\u00e1ximo tu alimentaci\u00f3n saludable y tu entrenamiento f\u00edsico reduciendo primero el estr\u00e9s cr\u00f3nico y centr\u00e1ndote en dormir bien: estos sencillos cambios no solo te ayudar\u00e1n a cambiar tu composici\u00f3n corporal, sino que tambi\u00e9n tendr\u00e1n un profundo efecto domin\u00f3 en tu salud a largo plazo.<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/>Imagen de Africa Studio\/Shutterstock<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row image single -->\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnNarrow spacing\">\n\t<div class=\"col\">\n\t<div class=\"0 scrollAnim\" \n\t    \n\t     style=\"Narrow;position:relative;overflow:hidden;\t;\" >\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"In Collaboration\"\n\t    class=\"\"\n\t    src=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/HP_M.jpg\" style=\"transition: 0.35s all;height:100%;width:100%;\t    object-position: 58% 39%; object-fit: cover;\"\/>\n\t    <\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<div class=\"descr\">Hannah Porteous es entrenadora personal y coach de bienestar en S\u00eddney (Australia).

The problem is that the body cannot tell the difference between being chased by a sabre-toothed tiger and having an inbox overflowing with emails, the stress response is the same.
