Fat Vs Thin

Sometimes I find it very challenging to give a one pointed answer to a nutritional question. It’s not because I don’t want to give you a direct answer it’s because the way my mind works and knowing what I do about our bodies nutritional needs, it’s just not that simple. I know you want simple, easy, quick and convenient, but it’s important to know it takes more time, energy, commitment and dedication to make changes.

Now, on to my topic which is continuing on the adrenal gland theme because I find it to be so important related to craving sugar, energy and ok, weight management or weight loss. Remember last post I mentioned the adrenal glands have a surface area known as the adrenal cortex. This is where cortisol which is a hormone is excreted. This hormone is very strong and is secreted when we’re under stress. But it’s job is to regulate blood sugar, mineral balance, immune system, and even support weight gain or weight loss. So when we’re under stress, which is a very general term, our adrenals can get taxed, more cortisol produced and imbalance occurs. All of the above.

Sugar cravings in the afternoon sound familiar? Or feeling tired when you wake up? Even that cup of java won’t get you going? That can all be related to some adrenal fatigue.

Today, I just wanted to get back to talking about your adrenals because we need to know they are part of curbing sugar cravings and making you feel physically strong.

More tomorrow and how to take care of them.
