Five years is actually not a long time for science to understand a process as complex as the pathways of the oil after a large spill. Some of the impacts of the Deepwater Horizon spill on the marine life and ecosystems of the Gulf of Mexico will only become visible in future years. We use oil products daily.
The Anti-Inflammatory Diet. Systemic inflammation, as noted previously, causes elevated cortisol levels. If we can naturally decrease inflammation in the body and minimize stress, decreased cortisol levels should follow, resulting in decreased chronic disease risk and improved wellness.
Whatever the cause, at the molecular level, the end result is the increase in silent inflammation. We often think of cortisol as a stress hormone, but in reality it is an anti-stress hormone whose job is to deal with the inflammatory responses that chronic stress is taking on your body. It is meant to be a short-term response to stress, and it works quite well in this capacity.
