Most of us living in this busy world could use a little help with balancing our hormones, as well as give some love to our adrenals. Adrenal glands are two capsules resting on the top of our kidneys. They are responsible for the secretion of several different hormones – about 48 different kinds and types. Some of them are the fight or flight response hormones, others are important reproduction hormones, then there is cortisol – the stress hormone and also aldosterone, which is important in water retention. Remarkably, these hormones travel everywhere in the body, so the adrenal glands influence literally every organ and tissue, as well as our mental and emotional experience.
When your body is frequently under stress, from toxins (personal care, pesticides, environmental pollutants), food allergens, too much sugar, caffeine, and refined foods, exercise, and of course emotional stress from relationships, and work overload, the adrenal glands get overworked. It’s no surprise then, that when all this extra strain is placed on the adrenal glands, it can have a very real impact on the entire system from the brain, down. I usually get my juice recipes from https://juiceguru.com/ to add them to my morning routine before working out.
The following are among the most common symptoms of adrenal imbalance:
- High or Low Blood Pressure
- Cravings for Sugary or Salty Foods
- Weight Loss or Weight Gain
- Lack of Energy
- Inability to Slow Down
- Overwhelm or Anxiety
- Moodiness
- Brain Fog
- Lack of Concentration
- Compromised Immunity
- Sleep Issues
- Low Libido
- Increased Perimenopausal or PMS Symptoms, in Women
When it comes to supporting the body in recovering from chronic stress, hormone imbalance, or adrenal fatigue, just a few simple dietary guidelines can make a world of difference. These conditions tend to leave us nutritionally depleted, and eating real nutrient-dense food can provide a crucial source of support and rejuvenation needed. Fresh fruit and vegetable juices are pure medicine for the endocrine system and hormonal health – the nourishment you receive from them is very concentrated and can be assimilated quickly.
The adrenal glands particularly benefit from the combination of carrot-beet- and-coconut juices. We hope you enjoy the video and that you will give this juice a try. Until next time, take good care of yourself!
