Adrenal Fatigue: Steps You Need to Take
If you are currently experiencing an unexplained tiredness or a general run down feeling or
inability to lose weight even though decreasing your calorie reduction, this could be the results
of what is called Adrenal fatigue or Adrenal Exhaustion. The adrenal glands are the
triangle-shaped endocrine glands that sit on top of the kidneys.
They are chiefly responsible for regulating the stress response through the regulation of
important hormones including cortisol and adrenaline.
Several stress factors in our daily lives eventually can cause adrenal fatigue. These are : Toxic
pollutants, poor, improper diet, stressful lifestyle and emotional upset. Eventually our
system is overloaded or unbalanced with Cortisol - leaving one prone to a host of problems
such as hypothyroidism, Cushings disease, Addison's diseases, improper hormone levels such
as Estrogen and a general feeling of tiredness and ill-health.
