Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands. It is often referred to as the "stress hormone" because it is released in response to stress. It helps the body respond to stress by increasing blood sugar levels, suppressing the immune system, and aiding in metabolism. The other options are incorrect. "The releasing of stress into the environment" does not describe a hormone. "An additive in foods we eat that alleviate stress" is also incorrect as cortisol is a naturally - produced hormone, not a food additive.
