As we age, levels of DHEA decrease naturally. Along with additional stress, low levels of DHEA may lead to higher levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, and accelerated aging. High and prolonged levels of cortisol in the bloodstream (like those associated with chronic stress) have been shown to have negative effects such as: Impaired cognitive performance and suppressed thyroid function Blood sugar imbalances Decreased bone density and a decrease in muscle tissue Higher blood pressure and lowered immunity Factors that contribute to low DHEA levels include: Aging Caffeine, alcohol, sugar, nicotine, and nutritional imbalance A vegetarian diet low in cholesterol and healthy fats
