Can't beat the fatigue, insomnia, weight gain, and depression? If so, your underlying problem may be adrenal fatigue or sometimes call adrenaline stress. A 20th century stress syndrome many people are struggling with these days. With the economic system getting worse more people will suffer from this syndrome. Unlike our ancestors, we live under a constant strain of stress.
Rather than the intermittent stress like the ones our ancestors had, we now live in a world where we're incessantly over-worked, under-nourished, exposed to environmental toxins, worrying about others - with no relief! Could life be any worse?
Stress is modulated by our adrenal glands. Two small walnut-sized glands located on top of each kidney, and are important control centers for many of the body's hormones. These glands produce adrenaline and give the body the "fight or flight" mode by increasing production of adrenaline.
When healthy, your adrenals will instantly increase your heart rate and blood pressure, releasing your energy for immediate use and sharpen your senses.
Your life consists of a endless list of demands. They might include lack of sleep, a hard-to-please boss, layoffs, financial pressures, personality conflicts, yo-yo dieting, relationship turmoil, or a death or illness of a loved one.
Other stresses could include illness or infection, skipping meals, too much caffeine and carbs, digestive problems, over-exercise, unresolved emotional issues from your past or present and much more. Because of all this, your adrenal glands are over worked.
Guilt, pain from past hurts, self-destructive habits, unsettled relationship troubles - your past and present emotional experience serve as an ever-present stressor. It's important to deal with this type of stress.
Adrenal fatigue may also be a element in many related conditions, including fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism, chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, premature menopause and others. It may also produce a host of other nasty symptoms, from acne to hair loss.
Do you think you have adrenal fatigue? That depends. Most people suffer stress, it's the long-term stress that causes adrenal fatigue or adrenaline stress.
If you feel happy and well, have even supply of get-up-and-go and your emotions are healthy, you sleep soundly seven to nine hours a night, and wake up feeling rested, recover well from stress, and keep a healthy weight without dieting, then your adrenals are probably doing well.
On the other hand, if your energy drags during the day, you feel emotionally disturbed most of the time, you sleep poorly or less than seven hours a night, can't lose weight even while dieting, use caffeine or sugars to help "perk-you-up" - these are all red flags indicating adrenal fatigue. - 30415
