隨著年歲增長，荷爾蒙逐漸減少，但因工作壓力大，有一種荷爾蒙卻居高不下，長久下來對人體造成致命影響『若這種荷爾蒙越來越多，則離死亡越來越近。』而這種荷爾蒙就是『腎上腺皮質醇』。有人稱腎上腺皮質醇是『死亡荷爾蒙』，其分泌過多不但會導致記憶力衰退、反應變差，還會造成器官萎縮、供血不足，血管脆弱、消化道潰瘍引發糖尿病，嚴重甚至走向死亡。
死亡荷爾蒙？
在現今台灣，大家都對『過勞死』這個詞略有所聞，而其實這就是大量腎上腺皮質醇長期分泌所致。回顧過去曾有新竹科學園區一個30多歲工程師突然暴斃，是因為過度勞累，導致腎上腺皮質醇異常分泌，加上睡眠不足，損傷來不及修補身體就急速衰退，導致心臟病或腦中風發作，年紀輕輕就離世。
然而腎上腺賀爾蒙其實也有應急的好處，例如：地震時突然一股神力扳起扭曲的家門，逃離災害現場。但是如果長期分泌就會造成負擔，使身體快速衰老。所以，想要延緩或逆轉老化的關鍵，就是控制腎上腺的分泌、讓它有彈性一點。
長期大量分泌腎上腺皮質醇帶來的傷害不容小覷
腎上腺皮質醇濃度長期居高不下伴隨的是一系列的傷害，如：傷害免疫系統（易感冒或導致癌症）、腦部萎縮（各種腦部功能退化，甚至平衡與協調變差、情緒改變）、腦細胞死亡（記憶力衰退、反應力緩慢）、其他器官萎縮（供血不足）、肌肉減少（蛋白質被分解）、皮膚變薄（膠原蛋白被分解）、骨質疏鬆（抑制骨質形成）、血管脆弱（維生素C缺乏，引起結締組織脆弱）、消化道潰瘍（胃酸增加、胃黏膜變薄）、糖尿病（血糖飆升與胰島素抗性）、代謝症候群（三高、腰腹肥胖）、脂肪累積（胰島素分泌）、陽痿或月經不調（生殖系統停擺）。
長期面臨壓力的人，體內腎上腺皮質醇濃度通常很高，建議從飲食開始，遠離死亡
腎上腺皮質醇合成過程中需要維生素C，如果沒有維生素C就不能合成。因此宜補充大量維生素C、蔬菜堅果。而有很多方法可以消除腎上腺皮質醇對大腦的影響，最有效的就是運動和冥想，運動和冥想能減緩壓力，也會增大海馬迴增強記憶力。此外，應注意睡眠，當睡眠不足容易導致神經內分泌失調，減慢新陳代謝，讓腎上腺皮質醇濃度飆升。
專家健議除了睡眠、均衡飲食外，最好常到戶外運動並接觸陽光，藉此能降低壓力、遠離死亡風險。
With the increase of age, the hormones are gradually decreasing, but because of the pressure of work, there is a hormone that remains high and has a fatal effect on the human body for a long time. If more and more hormones are present, they are getting closer and closer to death. And this hormone is "adrenal cortisol." Some people say that adrenal cortex is a "death hormone". Excessive secretion will not only lead to memory loss, poor reaction, but also cause organ atrophy, insufficient blood supply, weak blood vessels, diabetes caused by digestive ulcers, and even death.
Death hormone?
In today's Taiwan, everyone has a slight message about the word "overwork death", but in fact this is caused by the long-term secretion of a large amount of adrenal cortisol. Looking back, there was a sudden 30-year-old engineer in Hsinchu Science Park who was suddenly violent because of overwork, resulting in abnormal secretion of adrenal cortisol. In addition, lack of sleep, the injury could not be repaired, and the body rapidly declined, leading to heart attack or stroke. Gently passed away.
However, the adrenal hormones also have the advantage of emergency. For example, when the earthquake suddenly, a divine power provoked the twisted door and fled the disaster scene. However, if it is secreted for a long time, it will cause a burden and cause the body to age rapidly. Therefore, the key to delaying or reversing aging is to control the secretion of the adrenal gland and make it elastic.
The long-term massive secretion of adrenal cortisol can not be underestimated.
The long-term high concentration of adrenal cortisol is accompanied by a series of injuries, such as: damage to the immune system (susceptible to cold or cancer), brain atrophy (degeneration of various brain functions, even balance and coordination, emotional changes), Brain cell death (memory decline, slow response), other organ atrophy (insufficient blood supply), muscle loss (protein breakdown), skin thinning (collagen decomposition), osteoporosis (inhibition of bone formation), blood vessel fragility (vitamin C deficiency, causing connective tissue fragility), digestive ulcer (increased gastric acid, thinning of gastric mucosa), diabetes (blood sugar soaring and insulin resistance), metabolic syndrome (three high, waist and abdomen obesity), fat accumulation (insulin secretion), Impotence or irregular menstruation (reproductive system lockout).
People with long-term stress, the concentration of adrenal cortisol in the body is usually very high, it is recommended to start from the diet and stay away from death.
Vitamin C is required in the synthesis of adrenal cortisol and cannot be synthesized without vitamin C. Therefore, it is advisable to add a lot of vitamin C and vegetable nuts. There are many ways to eliminate the effects of adrenal cortisol on the brain. The most effective is exercise and meditation. Exercise and meditation can reduce stress and increase hippocampus to enhance memory. In addition, attention should be paid to sleep, when lack of sleep can lead to neuroendocrine disorders, slow down metabolism, so that the concentration of adrenal cortex is soaring.
Experts believe that in addition to sleep, a balanced diet, it is best to go outdoors and get in touch with the sun, which can reduce stress and stay away from the risk of death.
