Many
of you may suffer from fatigue, poor sleep, unexplained weight gain, memory
loss, anxiety and depression. Traditional medicine treats these symptoms by
medicating with sleeping pills, antidepressants and thyroid medications.
Unfortunately, this treatment approach may lead to more health problems due to
the side effects of these medications. The focus on drugs also tends to
suppress early-stage symptoms rather than treat their underlying causes. Before
you resort to covering up your symptoms with these drugs, I urge you to check
the function of one of the most neglected glands in your body…
That is, the adrenal
glands.
Every challenge to the mind
and body creates a demand on the adrenal glands. Today, these challenges are
endless: the threat of losing your job, lack of sleep, a demanding boss,
financial pressures, yo-yo dieting, relationship problems, death or illness of
a loved one, skipping meals, reliance on stimulants like caffeine and sugar,
digestive issues, over-exercise, illness or infection. The result…adrenals that
are over producing and are constantly on high alert. The over worked adrenal
glands eventually wear out…resulting in a commonly missed condition…ADRENAL FATIGUE.
Who gets Adrenal Fatigue?
Anyone can suffer from
adrenal fatigue. An illness, a life crisis, or a continuing difficult situation
can drain your adrenal resources even if you are the healthiest person. Factors
that can make you more prone to adrenal fatigue include poor ifestyles (bad
diet, substance abuse, too little sleep, or chronic stress), a recurrent
illness or repeated infections such as bronchitis or pneumonia.
An estimated 80% of North Americans
suffer from adrenal fatigue at some point in their lives. Sometimes the adrenal
strain is temporary and only lasts a few days. At other times it can be
debilitating and last for years (or a lifetime if the adrenals are not properly
restored). Adrenal fatigue usually begins with impaired adrenal function,
leading to significant adrenal stress and finally complete adrenal exhaustion.

Those are some good facts to know. What's especially important is to recognize the symptoms and avoid having adrenal fatigue accelerate into depression or excessive stress. Many people are not sure the difference between adrenal fatigue and depression, as they are closely correlated. However, if you read some of the facts on depression and adrenal fatigue you can focus your energy on discovering which one you may have (or a family member) and get the help needed.
