You Can Overcome Adrenal Fatigue (I did!)


I was helping someone with their newly diagnosed adrenal fatigue and felt it would be a good idea to cover the basics of treating this.

Make sure you eat a very nutrient dense diet.  Eating foods loaded with green beans, zucchini, spinach and other colorful vegetables is a great start.
Here is a recipe for a soup for boosting your adrenals.

Adrenal Recovery Soup
16 oz. green beans
1 cup chopped celery
1 zucchini, sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup tomato juice
1 cup spring water (or filtered but would lack the minerals)
2 tbsp. raw honey
1 tsp. Paprika
1 cup chicken broth
Pepper to taste
Combine ingredients and simmer for one hour until vegetables are tender.

Another great food to eat is sushi, since it is uncooked and full of enzymes.  Raw eggs and other raw meats are good as well if you can acquire them.

Sea vegetables high in iodine are also good including plenty of sodium from high quality salt such as Real Redmond Brand or Himalayan Salt.

Get plenty of vitamin C; take the mineral ascorbate type to avoid stomach upsets.  Vitamin E as mixed tocopherols and all of the B vitamins.  All the non-grain cereals such as quinoa, buckwheat and amaranth are great sources for B vitamins.   I would soak these first to get good mineral assimilation.  Then serve with plenty of butter, cream or coconut oil.

Light exercise is a great way to stimulate your adrenal function and my all-time favorite – laughter.  Laughter stimulates the adrenals and is great for your overall health and well-being.

Make sure to get at least 8 hours of sleep every night and establish a good nightly routine.

I suffered with extreme adrenal fatigue for about 10 years but am proof positive that you can recover your energy and vitality.
