Here are the first 3 ideas.
1. Hydrate:
It may seem like a simple recommendation, but our bodies require water for everything we do. Drink plenty of water to ensure your body has the energy to function.
2. Vitamins:
Most vitamins should be obtained from the diet, but taking B vitamins, vitamin C and Omege-3 fatty acids have been shown to reduce the symptoms of fatigue.
3. Sleep:
An additional surge of cortisol tends to come after 11 p.m. at night. It may come later if you wake up later in the day, but you should get to sleep no later than 16 hours after you wake up.
4. Caffeine and Sugar:
Reduce or eliminate both caffeine and sugar from your diet. Both of these have been shown to increase cortisol levels, which can increase your levels of fatigue.
5. Regular Meals:
Don't skip any meals. Even if you think you'll gain weight, skipping meals is the wrong course of action. Once you get into a routine of eating at regular intervals, your body will adjust and you'll likely start shedding the pounds by treating your adrenal insufficiency. Regular eating helps to maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the day.
6. Improve Nutrient Absorption:
Improve nutrient absorption by incorporating bone broth, low fat yogurt, seaweed and fermented drinks into your diet. These are all good at helping you maintain proper nutrition to get the right nutrients for your body.
7. Salt:
Himalayan sea salt contains a large amount of trace minerals that your body needs. Consume natural form of salts to ensure that your body is able to regulate the levels of the hormone aldosterone.
8. Don't Overtrain:
If you're running for extended periods of time or trying to complete too much cardio work, you're likely overstressing the adrenals. Even professional marathon runners take periods of rest to restore their bodies.
9. DHEA:
Adrenal glands that are misbehaving can often benefit from the inclusion of DHEA. This compound helps you to reduce the levels of cortisol in your body. This is one of the best adrenal remedies available to help get your endocrine system functioning properly again. It's possible to increase DHEA through the supplementation of magnesium and Maca.
Adrenal supplements are available to treat your adrenal symptoms, but the most important thing is to treat yourself well, eat well and get plenty of rest.
Look for stressors and allergens in your life, and attempt to simplify your life if it's overly complex. You'll enjoy a greater overall level of health and experience greater enjoyment in your life as well.
Successful treatment will result in a decrease of depression as well.
