Foods with a high glycemic index cause cortisol levels to rise. These foods include products high in sugar and refined starches. Skipping meals can also boost cortisol levels. Harding says a high cortisol level at night can disrupt sleep.
Foods high in soluble fiber include oats, barley, nuts, seeds, beans, lentils, peas, apples, carrots and flaxseed. Insoluble fiber absorbs water, speeds up the movement of food through the digestive system and adds bulk to the stool. It helps prevent constipation and the development of diverticulosis. Good sources of insoluble fiber include whole grains, wheat bran, nuts, beans, cauliflower, green beans and potatoes.
