Your Adrenals & Stress- DONT’s
Adrenal Fatigue is usually caused by some form of stress. No matter physical, emotional, psychological, environmental or infectious, your adrenals respond to every kind of stress in the same manner.
Even if minor, stressors accumulate and the adrenals have no opportunity to FULLY recover.
Adrenal Fatigue takes patience to overcome.
Recovery can take 3 months to 2 years depending on the severity.
Discipline is required to making lifestyle changes to reduce stress.
Make a conscious effort to avoid these things:
Getting overtired
Caffeine
Sugar
Alcohol
White flour products
Coffee (this was hard)
Staying up past 11pm
Pushing yourself
Energy suckers
Being Harsh or negative with yourself
Feeling sorry for yourself
Food allergies & sensitivities
Never skip breakfast
Competition
OVER TRAINING (this was my pitfall)
These appear difficult or even crazy, but these may keep your body from healing.
Give the body a chance to heal. It really is a small price to pay for the quality and the longevity of your life.
GO for Life!
In peace, health & with much love,
