Product Description
The adrenal gland provides the body with the capacity to respond to challenges. Stimulation of the adrenal gland causes a release of cortisol, epinephrine, and norepinephrine, facilitating physiologic changes in most tissues of the body. Epinephrine and nonepinephrine stimulate the heart, increase blood pressure, constrict blood vessels to the digestive tract, and raise blood sugar. These physiological changes allow the body to perform, adapt flexibly, go beyond normal limits, and recover in a reasonable amount of time.
Refined carbohydrates, business travel, unproductive meetings, financial concerns, and environmental pollution can be just a few modern stress factors that push the adrenal glands past the ability to adapt. Constant adrenal stiumlation damages the body and produces stress-related symptoms and diseases.
