Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 This is a quote from Dr. 's book, pg 138, Conversely, foods high in potassium such as fruit (especially bananas and dried figs) make adrenal fatigue worse. This is another reason you should avoid fruit and fruit juices in the morning. Not only do they contain a significant amount of fructose (fruit sugar), they also contain high amounts of potassium. This results in a danger ous duo for people with hypoadrenia. A nice Healthy fruit and yogurt breakfast will put a log of hypoadrenic people on the floor. In fact, one sign of hypoadrenia is increased fatigue or shakiness after a high fruit breakfast. The reference that I mentioned earlier about the CFS and FMS came from one of his audio lectures, I ordered the CD's from his website when I placed the order for my inventory. I'm sure they sell them at retail, too. I think it was under $10....

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 While I sort of agree with this, some of us hypoadrenal people DO need potassium as well. I am not one of them, my potassium is always good on labs, and eating high potassium foods does dip me in the dirt! LOL But others on here have BOTH low potassium adn low sodium so thye need both. I do nto think eating fruit for breakfast is a good idea for anyone due to the sugar content, but I eat my banana for luch when I feel the need for a bit of potassium wiht the TON of sea salt I need especuially in the summer. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://www.seewell4less.com/Valspage.htm Medical Alert Bracelets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
