Cortisol is an important hormone involved in regulating the body’s response to stress. It helps control various functions such as metabolism, immune response, and blood pressure, playing a crucial role in maintaining overall balance during stressful situations. While essential for survival, prolonged high levels of cortisol can negatively impact health, contributing to issues like anxiety, weight gain, and weakened immunity. Because of its wide-ranging effects on the body, researching cortisol is vital for understanding stress-related diseases and developing better treatments for related health conditions.
