Are you suffering from symptoms of 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 individuals are suffering from these days. With the economy becoming worse more people will suffer from this syndrome. Unlike our ancestors, we live under a continuous variety of stress.

Stress is regulated 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. All stress demands use of the adrenal gland.
When your adrenal glands are healthy, they give you instant energy, sharpen your senses, increase your heart rate and control your blood pressure. All stress demands use of the adrenal gland.
Your life consists of a endless list of demands. They might include lack of sleep, a demanding boss, the threat of losing your job, 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, undecided relationship troubles – your past and present emotional feelings serve as an ever-present stressor. It’s important to deal with this type of stress.
Adrenal fatigue may also be a factor 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.Eliminate Your Stress
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.
But then, 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” – the it’s a sure sign you’re suffering from adrenal fatigue.
