What happens when the adrenal gland is not functioning properly?
In severe cases an adrenal insufficiency may lead to an adrenal crisis. This life-threatening situation can reduce blood sugar levels and blood pressure but increase blood levels of potassium. Symptoms of an adrenal crisis may include diarrhoea, bouts of vomiting or severe pain in the lower body that comes on quickly.
What helps adrenal gland support?
Adrenal health supplements are designed to support the adrenal glands and their important processes. These may consist of Magnesium, pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), Siberian ginseng, Maca or liquorice root to name but a few.
Is walking good for adrenal fatigue?
If you find yourself recovering from adrenal fatigue, low-impact exercise such as walking, yoga or swimming are recommended. These types of basic physical activity stimulate cortisol to work for us when it comes to fat-burning, and not against us.
