Diet Can Alleviate Adrenal Fatigue

October 20, 2016 By Corey B

Are you an individual experiencing adrenal fatigue? If yes, then just know that the food you consume is your first line of defense. The benefit of creating an adrenal-supportive diet plan is that it does not involve regular trips to a naturopath or doctor, will only cost you no more than your everyday diet, and will have a couple of other health benefits too.

However, before creating the diet plan, there are two factors that you must put into consideration. First, you must avoid foods that will make your condition worse. Secondly, you should regularly try to eat food that will help you recover. Among other things, this only implies that you should take your meals at the right time, consume a lot of nutritious whole foods, and also avoid foods to which you have intolerances or sensitivities.

 

Foods to consume and those to avoid

Eating less sugar

If you have adrenal fatigue, then consuming less sugar is ultimately a wise move. And if you didn’t know, excess sugar needs to be regulated by cortisol, implying that when you take too much of it, you are taxing your adrenal glands indirectly. Also, crashes that spike in blood glucose lead to sugar cravings, and perhaps even the need to use stimulants such as coffee, to prevent fatigue. Either way, too much sugar is bad news for adrenal fatigue victims.

It is critical to note that fast food and sugary snacks are not the only sources of excess sugar, but other items such as fruit juices are also high in sugar. The recommended excellent sources of carbohydrate include beans, vegetables, and whole sprouted grains such as quinoa and wild rice.

Taking more protein

Good quality foods rich in protein is an integral part of any adrenal fatigue diet. Go for proteins such as beef, eggs, fish, fowl, dairy products, free-range chicken and various plant sources including soy, nuts and other legumes. Try as much as possible and avoid processed proteins such processed cheeses and packaged lunch meats. Having enough protein is a natural way of keeping your energy levels high without causing spikes in your blood glucose.

The Right Fats

For the good fats, consider foods such as a nut, seeds, butter, olive oil, avocado, coconut and dairy products such as cheese. Eating sufficient fats is a great energy source. However, just ensure that the sources of the fats are from natural and whole foods.

Stay hydrated

Staying hydrated is paramount. And if you are suffering from adrenal fatigue, staying hydrated becomes even more significant. You can even go a notch higher, by adding a little lemon or sea salt to your cup of water, bearing in mind that most of the adrenal fatigue sufferers have electrolyte and mineral deficiencies.

Salt

In many cases of adrenal fatigue, moderated salt is quite beneficial for those who add it to their meals. Unless you are an individual having both high blood pressure and adrenal fatigue, which is always a very rare case, add some moderate salt to your foods. Pink, Celtic or sea salts are preferred, since they contain the valuable nutrients. And if you didn’t know, certain symptoms of adrenal fatigue are caused by the body’s need for salt.

Processed and microwaved foods

Processed and microwaved foods have their dangers, but notably, such foods contain many preservatives and fillers which are hard to digest, hence wear out your energy and your digestion cycle. Always try your best to prepare your own food at all times.

 

Adrenal fatigue recovery can take a little while. All the same, it takes months, or even years, to wear out your adrenals; therefore it takes quite some time to construct their strength again. However, the best approach toward realizing full recovery is making solid changes to your lifestyle. If you opt for a balanced lifestyle with lots of exercises, proper diet, fun, quality sleep and a positive environment, then you are destined to keep your adrenal system stronger!
