Today's Lifestyle
vs.
Your Adrenal Glands

We’re all familiar with stress. But what we aren’t so familiar with is the body’s response to stress and the ways in which the stress we face today goes far beyond the kind of stress we faced as we evolved.
When faced with a stressful situation, our bodies rely on the adrenal glands. The adrenals are small triangular shaped glands located above each kidney and they are vital for good health as they produce a number of important hormones such as adrenalin, cortisol, and aldosterone.
 
These hormones help provide for optimal energy, strength, and a sense of well-being. The important point is balance of adrenal hormones. Too much or too little production of hormones by the adrenals leads to bodily dysfunctions. Living with low metabolic energy can be difficult and unnecessary. Providing the body with proper support in the form of vitamin supplements can significantly decrease, if not completely eliminate, low metabolic energy and its symptoms.

Stresses as commonly experienced in today’s modern lifestyles have the greatest detrimental effect on the functioning of our adrenal glands. Too often, women and their healthcare practitioners think weight loss is all about cutting calories and exercising more. The adrenal glands are the base of our endocrine stress response system. Adrenaline is used primarily for short term stress, while cortisol is produced as a result of both acute and long-term stress. Psychological or psychosomatic stresses such as mental exhaustion, anxiety, and excessive worry can imbalance our adrenal functions leading to weakness, moodiness, depression, fatigue, bone loss, proper healing, and many other dysfunctions.

Proper care of our adrenal functioning is important for good health. The adrenals respond well to appropriate nutritional supplements, proper rest and sleep routines, avoidance of toxic stimulants, acidic foods, excessive sugars along with proper nutritional support such as raw foods and herbal supplements. Certain items such as tobacco, coffee, chocolate, sodas, and similar toxins should be avoided to improve adrenal function.
