Inadequate sleep, irregular meals, overstimulation and pushing ourselves to do too much are all factors of daily life that contribute to poor adrenal health. All too often, our adrenal glands are burdened and the sympathetic nervous system is constantly feeling threatened. That’s generally when people experience fatigue, sleep disturbances, depleted energy levels and more frequent illness — all of which result in reduced vitality, stamina and stress resilience. The typical response in modern life is to maintain momentum and stimulate mental acuity by consuming caffeine and sugar which only further burden adrenal glands and lead to deeper exhaustion. Appropriate nutrients and herbs, along with physical activity and a smart diet, can turn down the dress habit, improve adrenal health and increase energy, stamina and well-being, while decreasing the need for caffeine, sugar and over-stimulation.
