The development of stress hormones at night derails your fat balance, confirmed the study of Stanford. It is the choice of time when you experience tension, it is very important. The failure of circadian rhythms is the trigger mechanism for the appearance of excess weight. Horse racing of cortisol during the day, such as a cup of coffee or training, will not lead to the formation of the abdomen.

When people experience chronic stress, take medications with hormones at night, work on a night shift or make long flights, then cortisol is produced at the wrong time. This causes the formation of new fat cells, especially in the abdomen, reports "My Planet" with reference to the Daily Mail.

Scientists conducted an experiment on cells grown in Petri dishes: some of them were exposed to the stress hormone for 48 hours, and others - periods of 12 hours. The first group almost all degenerated into fat, and the second - no.
