Adrenal Fatigue Related Health ConditionsIf morning fatigue is a symptom, adrenals are fatigued. If medical treatment includes corticosteroids, adrenal function is diminished. They are designed to imitate cortisol, a hormone secreted by the adrenals. • Alcoholism and Addiction Adrenal Fatigue can both lead to and result from alcoholism. Adrenal support enhances treatment for alcoholism and other addictions. For many alcoholics, food and drug addicts, Adrenal Fatigue and the resulting hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) predispose them to a compulsive desire for the abused substance.The adrenals become fatigued by the continual overuse of alcohol, drugs or carbohydrates. Alcohol is poison for the adrenals that should not be consumed by people suffering from Adrenal Fatigue. It is a naked carbohydrate in an extremely refined form (more refined than white sugar) that quickly finds it way into the cells of your body, forcing them to make energy at a rapid rate. This sets off a blood sugar roller coaster and uses a large number of the body's nutrients that are not replaced by the alcohol. The craving is driven by the body's desperate need for quick energy that results from weak adrenals. The alcohol temporarily compensates for the signs and symptoms of hypoadrenia but leads to further Adrenal Fatigue after the effects of the alcohol have worn off, producing a further need for alcohol. • Allergies With Adrenal Fatigue there a tendency to experience allergies. People with food and environmental allergies commonly have weak adrenal function. Most allergies involve the release of histamine and other substances that produce inflammation. The more histamine that is released, the more cortisol it takes to control the inflammatory response and the harder the adrenals have to work to produce more cortisol. Cortisol, one of the primary hormones produced by the adrenal glands, is a strong anti-inflammatory, reducing inflammation. The amount of cortisol circulating in the blood is the key factor in controlling inflammation in the body. The harder the adrenals have to work, the more fatigued they become and the less cortisol they produce, allowing histamine to inflame the tissues more. The vicious circle leads to progressively deeper Adrenal Fatigue and more allergic reactions. Eliminating foods from the diet and exposure to substances that cause allergic reactions will help break this cycle and improve adrenal function. Food allergens interfere with daily life and are stress on the adrenals. Eliminate food allergies to restore adrenal health.
