' one positive side effect of too much cortisol , though , is that cortisol is good at reducing swelling or itching in its medical form - known as hydrocortisone . however , remaining stressed for too long is still not advisable - and dr burks recommends eating healthy food , exercising and getting plenty of sleep to beat stress .
