Are you experiencing Adrenal fatigue?
Do you feel like you’re running on empty for the better part of the day? Are you rushing about trying to get 10things done at once, while not actually achieving much in the process? If that sounds familiar, you need to be careful you are not putting you health at risk. Trying to maintain this pace can impair your Adrenal glands.
Your Adrenal glands are located on top of your Kidneys and are responsible for producing many essential hormones that help regulate important functions throughout your body such as your response to stress and regulating blood sugar levels.
Long periods of stress and diet will lead you to Adrenal insufficiency which is a lifestyle related illness
That can strike at any age.
This condition can arise when overworked adrenal glands become underactive and will leave you feeling tired and burnt out.
Once this condition is happening in your body this can result in symptoms such as: fatigue, inability to concentrate, nervousness, depression, insomnia, and irritability.
Eating too many processed high glycemic carbohydrates will result in excessive rises in blood sugar and will cause you blood sugar levels to crash. This will force your Adrenals to pump out cortisol to unlock stored glucose in your liver as a fuel source. This procedure over time will cause adrenal failure.
Your body needs to produce sufficient amount of the ‘stress hormone’ cortisol which helps your body respond in times of stress.
This hormone helps your body regulate fats, carbohydrates and proteins and will help the functioning of your immune system.
Natural remedies as a good quality Vitamin B complex and Vitamin C will help regulate your adrenal glands and a good balanced food plan.
While experiencing this condition it might be time to take a week’s rest and take up some relaxing activity such as yoga or make a change to your current routine
