Haidut.... but shouldnt saturated fat be eaten without sugar.?
Haidut....
But what if someone suffers from severe PTSD...where theres alot of cortisol and adrenaline flowin daily due to racked nerves... wouldnt it be best to stay away from fats and up the sugars? In other words wouldnt we want the randle cycle to prefer sugars and not have it be "distracted" by fats?
Well yeah, I did not mean to suggest you should be gorging on fat. I just wanted to point out that saturated fat has its benefits. Btw, PUFA stimulates cortisol synthesis while SFA inhibits it, so improving the SFA/PUFA ratio in tissues can probably help lower cortisol.
Pufa Stimulates Cortisol Production Even In The Absense Of Acth
For people with PTSD, it is serotonin that is the primary driver of cortisol synthesis so using something line theanine of cyproheptadine should help. Both have been studied successfully for PTSD.
