    What hormone is commonly referred to as the stress hormone?

    • Oxytocin

    • Estrogen

    • Cortisol

    Correct Answer
    A. Cortisol
    Explanation
    Cortisol is commonly referred to as the stress hormone because it is released in response to stress and helps the body to cope with it. It regulates blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and the immune system. High levels of cortisol over a prolonged period can have negative effects on the body, such as suppressed immune function and increased risk of heart disease.

    • Good work ethic

    • Ageing

    • Weight loss

    Correct Answer
    A. Ageing
    Explanation
    Stress has been linked to a variety of negative health effects, including accelerated aging. Chronic stress can lead to increased inflammation in the body, which can contribute to the aging process. Additionally, stress can affect the body's ability to repair and regenerate cells, further contributing to the aging process. Therefore, it is plausible that stress can cause aging.

    Studies show that phycological stress can lead too?

    • Your body's ability to stay hydrated.

    • Your body's ability to fight infection.

    • Your body's ability to regulate blood sugar.

    Correct Answer
    A. Your body's ability to regulate blood sugar.
    Explanation
    Psychological stress can have a significant impact on the body's ability to regulate blood sugar levels. When stressed, the body releases stress hormones like cortisol, which can cause an increase in blood sugar levels. This is because cortisol triggers the release of glucose from the liver into the bloodstream, providing the body with energy to deal with the stressor. However, chronic stress can disrupt this balance, leading to prolonged high blood sugar levels and potentially increasing the risk of developing conditions like diabetes.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    The more insulin your body releases the more?

    • Energy you have

    • Tired you feel

    • Your appetite increases

    Correct Answer
    A. Your appetite increases
    Explanation
    When the body releases more insulin, it can lead to an increase in appetite. Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels, and when there is an excess of insulin, it can cause the blood sugar levels to drop. This drop in blood sugar can trigger hunger and cravings, leading to an increase in appetite. Therefore, the more insulin your body releases, the more your appetite increases.
