Effective Tips for Restoring Energy and Reducing Fatigue-EPISODE 6

Fatigue is something that all of us experience. It’s only natural for us to feel fatigued if we experience something that is physically, mentally, and emotionally stressful. The body’s response to stress is to release hormones (cortisol) that help us deal with stress. These hormones can give us extra speed and strength, which make it feel temporarily enjoyable at times. In some cases, it can also make us impervious (unaffected) to pain.

However, if we subject our body to excessive stress, our adrenal glands become affected, which will eventually slow down the production of hormones. When our adrenal glands slow down in the production of hormones, then our body and mind will be unable to deal with stress effectively.

According to Mayo Clinic:

​​Cortisol, the primary stress hormone, increases sugars (glucose) in the bloodstream, enhances your brain’s use of glucose and increases the availability of substances that repair tissues. Cortisol also curbs functions that would be nonessential or harmful in a fight-or-flight situation.

This is why it is important for you to know how to deal with adrenal fatigue. If not, you will find that adrenal fatigue can really have a negative effect on your personal, social, and professional life.

With adrenal fatigue, you will constantly feel excessively tired and you will be unable to concentrate on just about anything. You will always want to sleep and your mind will always be foggy.

If you suffer from adrenal fatigue, even sleeping will not get your energy levels up. In fact, people with this condition feels that they need to sleep more even after they wake up in the morning. They feel that they didn’t even sleep at all.

Causes of Fatigue

Adrenal fatigue can be caused by several factors. It can be caused by anemia, depression, stress, obesity, eating disorders, and it can also be caused by low blood pressure and infection just to name a few.

A lot of people today are now suffering from a condition called adrenal fatigue. This is a stress-related condition that can have a serious effect on your overall well-being. If you suffer from adrenal fatigue, then there is a great chance that you will suffer from other health problems.
