Adrenal glands - why are you so tired?????

[Guest guest]

Many of us complain of being tired, could your adrenal glands be the problem?

Copied from Dr. Mercola's site, which I found it interesting. The rest of the

article is posted at the foot of the message.

" Your adrenal glands are each no bigger than a walnut and weigh less than a

grape, yet are responsible for one of the most important functions in your body:

managing stress.

“The adrenals are known as ‘the glands of stress,’” writes in his

book Adrenal Fatigue: The 21st Century Stress Syndrome. “It is their job to

enable your body to deal with stress from every possible source, ranging from

injury and disease to work and relationship problems. Your resiliency, energy,

endurance and your very life all depend on their proper functioning.” " When your

adrenal glands are fatigued, a condition known as adrenal fatigue or adrenal

exhaustion, your entire body feels it and suffers from extreme exhaustion as

well. It’s estimated that up to 80 percent of adults experience adrenal fatigue

during their lifetimes, yet it remains one of the most under-diagnosed illnesses

in the United States. "
