What is Adrenal Fatigue and Treatment

By Ethel Massey


What is to be understood is that in some ways the adrenal glands regulate the other hormones such as the thyroid and the sex hormones. The thyroid is situated in the throat and excretes certain hormones that regulate the metabolism and physical development while the sex hormones are pumped out by the ovaries and testicles and produce all of the hormones related to the reproductive life of the person. When the adrenal glands aren't working properly, all of the other hormones will also be negatively affected.



Now if we go and investigate specifically what the adrenals control, we see why they are so exposed. Essentially they have a major role in metabolizing fat, regulating the blood sugar level and coping with stress. What are the factors that negatively influence modern life? High fat, raised sugar diets and a lot of stress is the response. It's no surprise that adrenal fatigue is reaping victims in the thousands.

Adrenal support supplements can help. Magnesium is the best anti-stress mineral available. Overwork and stress make your body consume large quantities of magnesium and when your body has used it's store you'll feel exhausted, ill-tempered and possibly suffer with insomnia. The Magnesium supplements are generally available over the counter and could be a great help in reducing the top ailments of Adrenal Fatigue and Fibromyalgia. Sex drive in both ladies and men will lessen if you are affected by adrenal fatigue as the adrenal glands are also involved in the making of sex hormones. Girls could suffer symptoms similar to menopause at an early age and could experience severe ache during Premenstrual Syndrome. Men could suffer with erectile problems.

Some folks influenced by adrenal fatigue become compulsive about sport and this should actually be viewed as a likely symptom. During exercise the adrenal glands are "forced" into action and the body at last receives its dose of needed hormones. This can lead on to a "sport addiction" of sorts and if you become aware you are experiencing other symptoms, it could be a good decision to check for Adrenal Fatigue via a simple test done by an expert in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Whilst you are curing your body of adrenal fatigue you can help yourself in many ways. First it is very important to reduce factors that are making stress in your life although this isn't easy to do. Put yourself in scenarios which will make you unwind. Go see a diverting motion picture, go out with your best chums or do anything which will take some of the strain off you. Also try and get as much sleep as you can because this helps the recovery of the Adrenal Glands.
