Adrenals
First, understand that your Adrenal Glands are important to how well you live and how well you feel.
The adrenals glands are primarily known for the production of our stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline. But they are literally a hormone factory and significantly affect the function of every tissue, organ and gland. They produce our anti-aging hormone DHEA, our reproductive hormones: estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, as well as aldosterone which regulates our sodium and potassium.
The basic task of your adrenal glands is to rush all your body’s resources into "fight or flight" mode by increasing production of adrenaline and cortisol. The problem occurs when we are constantly in the “fight or flight” mode and we begin to produce too much cortisol and adrenaline.
If you are living your life in constant stress and always on the go, you are constantly in the “fight or flight” mode which triggers your body to burn calories from carbohydrates and proteins (lean muscle), and NOT stored body fats. The constant squeeze on the adrenal glands will cause your heart to race, your blood pressure to increase, your digestion to slow down and your immune system to go on alert. More importantly, it will affect your metabolism, which controls your energy and your ability to lose weight.
However, when the body is in the “resting-digesting” mode, it will burn stored body fats for energy. This is important because you get two and a half times more energy when you burn fats instead of carbohydrates or proteins. This is why it is so important to manage your stress, but you need to know (Identify) where it is coming from and you need to realize that...
Stress is Cumulative...
The effects of stress are cumulative and the more you call on our adrenal glands to produce more cortisol and adrenaline, the faster you deplete your adrenal glands.
Cortisol isn’t a bad hormone, as infomercials want you to believer, but prolonged stress and the constant production of additional cortisol and adrenaline begin to deplete and fatigue your adrenal glands.
Stress is more than worry, fear and anxiety. It is anything that causes your adrenal glands to produce more cortisol and adrenaline. It’s like the proverbial “straw that broke the camel’s back.” The more stress you tax your adrenal glands with, the more you deplete them and the more you have to nourish them.
This is why Adrenal-Fuel works wonders for so many people. It nourishes those depleted adrenal glands while at the same time balances those hormones that get thrown out of balance due to all the stress in one’s life. Give Adrenal-Fuel a try for 30 days and feel your metabolism the boost it has been looking for. Adrenal Fuel has NO Stimulants!
A major reason why so many people have a hard time overcoming adrenal fatigue and exhaustion is because they can’t Identify where their stress is coming from...
The Diet Connection…
Your diet is a major contributor to adrenal fatigue and exhaustion and must be addressed! You can’t overcome it by simply swallowing more pills!
Low blood sugar and digestive difficulties cause the adrenals to produce additional cortisol and adrenaline, which results in even more work for the adrenal glands which is added to all the emotional and physical stress in our life.
The adrenals can only handle so much work before they become depleted and you feel the result of adrenal exhaustion.
Cortisol and adrenaline are used to balance your blood sugar when it drops. As your blood sugar drops due to skipped meals, delayed meals, or eating the wrong foods (processed, refined grains and high fructose corn syrup), your adrenals will be forced to produce even more cortisol and adrenaline. This is a big problem! If the adrenals are exhausted and unable to produce enough cortisol or adrenaline then your blood sugar will continue to drop! This brings on the cravings, hypoglycemia, PMS, inability to focus, ADD and weight gain.
It is a vicious cycle that keeps repeating itself and needs to be addressed. You can take all of the supplements you want, but they won’t help your adrenals if you can’t keep your blood sugar stable. This is why you will never restore your adrenal glands if you can’t keep your blood sugar stable!
The Digestion Connection…
Bloating, indigestion, heartburn, reflux or any of the other irritable bowel problems add to the stress on your adrenals.
When your digestive system is irritated and inflamed, your body’s natural response is to eliminate the inflammation. Cortisol, produced by the adrenals, is generated to reduce inflammation. So, the continual irritation in your digestive system causes your adrenal glands to produce more cortisol. This is more work for the adrenal glands and contributes to the overproduction of cortisol and adrenaline racing through your body.
This contributes to the vicious cycle, because elevated levels of cortisol begins to erode the intestinal lining. This leaves you susceptible to hidden food allergies, yeast, fungus, and candida overgrowth. These all contribute to digestive difficulties which further inflames the intestines and causes more work for the adrenal glands.
The Hormone Connection...
Hormonal imbalances associated with progesterone deficiency are also directly tied into the health of the adrenal glands.
When your body is under stress and needs more cortisol, the body may have to direct more of its resources (pregnenolone and progesterone) to make that cortisol. This causes two more problems.
First, a percentage of progesterone is being used to make cortisol. You can NOT make cortisol without progesterone. The adrenal glands literally steal the progesterone, which leads to lower levels of progesterone. This throws off the balance of progesterone to estrogen. This affects fertility, PMS, hot flashes, night sweats. This is significant problem for women in pre- and post- menopausal stages, when hormone production becomes highly dependent on the adrenal glands!
Secondly, it reduces the available pregnenolone that is needed to produce DHEA, testosterone and estrogen which means it produces less of the anti-aging hormone (DHEA), testosterone and estrogen. The adrenals simply don’t have enough resources to produce enough cortisol and our sex hormones and a major reason for low testosterone for both men and women and a main cause of loss of libido.
The bottom line? You simply cannot live without your adrenals and the hormones they produce. And how well you live and feel depends a great deal on how well your adrenal glands function!
The more stress in your life, the more you tax your adrenal glands! Stress originates in multiple areas, including emotional stress, blood sugar imbalances, digestive difficulties and physical stress. And all of this stress builds up over time and it has a cumulative affect! The adrenal glands are involved in multiple functions of your body:
*Metabolism
*Blood sugar and cravings
*Digestion and elimination
*Thyroid
*Reproductive hormones
*Mood and chemical imbalances
*Blood pressure and heart health
*Immune system (allergies, infections, etc.)
*Liver and detoxification centers
As you can see, when your adrenal glands aren’t functioning properly, it affects so many areas of your health and can form a vicious cycle.
CAUTION: It’s more than simply lowering cortisol…it’s about nourishing those exhausted adrenal glands.
Try Adrenal-Fuel for thirty days and re-energize your body. Adrenal Fuel is all natural, contains NO stimulants and the energy boost you get comes from your metabolism functioning properly.
