There are different times of your life when your body is naturally stressed. One of these times of natural stress is when a woman becomes pregnant. Pregnancy is an altered state for the body triggering elevated levels of cortisol secretion. It has been determined that glucocorticoids, especially cortisol, help promote lung maturity in the developing fetus.</p><br />To see our recommended stretch mark treatment see <a href="http://www.trilastinreview.com">Trilastin</a><br /><p>Extremely heavy weightlifting can cause the body to elevate cortisol production because of the extra work needed by the body to repair muscle tissue. Adolescence also causes elevated cortisol levels because of the changes the young body is going through to become an adult. The body reads these changes as stress and in return elevates the amount of glucocorticoids in the body.</p><p>But do glucocorticoids cause stretch marks? Because of their effects on many bodily processes, cortisol and other glucocorticoids could possibly impair the production of collagen in the skin leading to a decrease in skin elasticity. Stretch marks could form in the areas where your skin's elasticity breaks down.</p><p>All of this information tells us that we need to keep our stress levels under control and keep our skin healthy. Exercise, plenty of water, and proper nutrition can help lower stress and reduce your chances of developing stretch marks.</p><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top"><div class="sig"><p>Learn more about stretch marks.</p><p>Article Source: <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Danna_Vach">http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Danna_Vach</a></p></div></td><td><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34012049-115795620374440231?l=shuqs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>andarooc_11http://www.blogger.com/profile/16320523174477906140noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34012049.post-1157636933459988432006-09-07T06:48:00.000-07:002006-09-07T06:48:53.473-07:00<p>Stretch marks are not for women only. They affect many teenagers and body builders. What are stretch marks? The fine lines that change in color over a time and appear on different parts of body generally after pregnancy or after sudden weight increase are Stretch marks.</p><p><strong>Skin care and stretch marks formation- </strong> Stretch marks don't form only because the skin stretches during certain periods. Let us look at this carefully. Most of the women believe that they get stretch marks because of their body expanding during pregnancy. This is true, but please note that the marks that you see in your skin get formed when the skin does not stretch and therefore tears. This not stretching of skin is believed to be because of certain hormones. These hormones don't allow the dermis to make more collagen and elastin. If the skin had made enough collagen and elastin to support the stretching, no marks would have appeared. This hormone called glucocorticoids is responsible for formation of stretch marks.</p><p><strong>Skin Care and stretch mark avoidance- </strong> Stretch marks form during pregnancy in women, in teenagers when they gain weight very fast, in body builders and in some conditions such as Cushing's syndrome. Use of steroid creams over along period may also form stretch marks.</p><p><strong>Skin care and stretch marks treatment- </strong> There is no proven treatment available for stretch marks. Rather than trying any product that claims to treat stretch marks, please consult your doctor. Chemical peeling and laser is being tried to remove them. Vitamin C creams and retinoids are said to help. Your doctor is the best judge. Please consult him/her and find the remedy if possible. Even otherwise don't get disheartened. They fade away over time.</p><p>This article is only for informative purposes. This article is not intended to be a medical advise and it is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
