Anti-Stress

These days, living with chronic stress at home or at work has become an all-too-familiar scenario for many of us. In response to stress, the adrenal glands secrete various levels of stress hormones such as adrenalin and cortisol.

Excessive stress can cause hormonal imbalances that lead to premature aging and an obesity-like condition characterized by excessive accumulation of abdominal fat and loss of muscle mass and strength. Chronic daily stress, whether generated by work, school or constant worry, can also rapidly deplete the brain's serotonin reserves, triggering powerful cravings for sugary and starchy foods. Excessive food consumption, weight gain, feelings of lassitude and lack of energy, irritability, chronic fatigue, hypersomnia and a weakened immune system are just some of the common symptoms of weakened adrenal function.
