Boost Immunity Step 5: Reduce Stress Tips to Improve Adrenals
You probably have heard of these two little glands that are perched atop your kidneys. So small yet so powerful, your adrenal glands. https://scientifichealer.com/stress
These glands are there to help push you past what you normally can do in times of stress. They secrete stimulant hormones like adrenaline, cortisol and other similar steroids to push your system into overdrive.
High levels of stress hormones are not meant to course through your body day and night. Here is the really important fact: while your adrenal glands are secreting their hormones, your body is tearing itself down. It cannot heal, or at least heal well.
The sad fact is in a modern fast-paced society like the USA, 2/3 of its citizen have failing or failed adrenal glands. All the buzzing, dinging of devices, driving in traffic, the current pandemic and now the curfews happening across America to protest the horrible acts by police has further send our adrenal glands into overdrive.
You might ask how do I know my adrenals are failed.Here are some of the symptoms of insufficiency (could also be Addison’s disease).
- When you stand up, especially if you haven’t eaten in a while, you feel light-headed.
- When you sleep 8 or more hours but can’t wake up easily, especially if you are normally a morning person, and or feel tired until about noon or so.
- Low blood pressure
- low blood sugar or hypoglycemia
- salt cravings,
- darkening of your skin, weight loss and decreased appetite.
This also causes serious issues with your immune system and hamper brain function, leading to forgetfulness and confusion.
What is the solution to improving adrenal function and hence your immunity?First, the fastest way to helping yourself is to take steps to relieve the stress in your life and then add practices into your life that will help get you there more quickly.
I have used these often because I am one of those that has a tendency to overthink and stress out over things. I have high expectations of myself and often bite off more than I can chew. I also feel the moods of others and until I recognized they were not my moods, I took on that stress too. I couldn’t stand up without my body shaking uncontrollably sometimes. Often I felt like I was going to faint. This is when I got the sickest.
