This month I have seen two seperate studies that highlight the dangers of the strees hormone Cortisol.

The first stated that new reseach pointed to elevated Cortisol levels being responsible for weight retention, abdominal fat deposits, high blood pressure, and risk of coronary disease.

The second study concluded that after approximatly 45 minutes of cardio or strength training, the body begins to secrete Cortisol in high amounts, and does so continuously as exercise continues.

So....how do you guys react to these studies?
