What you should know about your adrenal glands
First and foremost they are connected to your hypthalamus and your pituitary. So hopefully you’ll keep coming back to learn how to keep those glands healthy too. Awhile ago I had written how Vogue magazine had an article on adrenal fatigue and it’s the new chronic fatigue syndrome of our day. Well, I wholeheartedly agree.
Hmmm, who out there drinks coffee? eats sugar? doesn’t get enough sleep? waits 6 hours before eating anything? drinks too much alcohol? Oh, are you under stress?
See the adrenal glands are responsible for the fight or flight syndrome which produces the epinephrine(adrenaline) and nor epinephrine(nor adrenaline) chemicals in your body. On top of this, your adrenals also are responsible for hormones too. Two parts of the adrenal one of which is the adrenal cortex produces these corticosteroids. Can you say cortisol? The hormone which loves to lay down body fat especially around the middle. Hormone health, energy, strength, and stamina are just a few reasons to nourish your adrenals.
There is so much to write on the adrenals what I want you to take a away from this is some health, lifestyle and supplement tips today. First and foremost, when you say to yourself “I’m so burnt out”, that’s when your adrenals need help! First I like to relax with a salt water bath with epsom salts(high in magnesium which is great for adrenals), eat every 3-4 hours(at least a lite snack), and make sure you take sufficient B vitamins, maybe some American Ginseng, and Ashwaganda(Ayurvedic herb).
