Stress

Stress has been linked to many illnesses. Do you know how to manage stress or what are the stress factors in your life? The first step to healing starts with knowledge and acknowledgment of a condition.

Here are Five Simple Strategies to Reduce Stress and Eliminate Exhaustion

1. Eat steadily, all day long.

Skipping meals is one of the worst things you can do for your body. When you‘re hungry, your blood sugar drops, stressing your adrenal glands and triggering your sympathetic nervous system. You will feel light-headedness, cravings, anxiety and fatigue.

2. Eat More Raw Uncooked Food.

Uncooked food stores maximum energy.

Raw eggs may take some getting used to, but they are an inexpensive way to increase the amount of uncooked protein and fat in your diet. Is it risky? The risk of salmonella from raw eggs is only 1 in 30,000, and even that risk can be greatly avoided by carefully examining the eggs prior to eating them.

3. Use Psychological Acupressure Techniques to Lower Your Stress.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a powerful but easy technique for quickly resolving emotional distress.

4. Pay off your sleep debt.

During sleep your adrenal glands are restored and repaired. Unfortunately, most of us place little value on sleep, and end up getting less than we need, night after night. Result: Your adrenal glands stay depleted.

The average person needs six to eight hours of sleep each night. Sleeping under six hours will actually accelerate aging and increase your risk of diabetes. If you feel as if you‘re dragging, you need the full eight hours of sleep!

For better sleep:

- Avoid before-bed snacks, particularly grains and sugars.
- Sleep in complete darkness or as close as possible.
- No TV right before bed.
- Wear socks to bed.
- Read something spiritual or religious. This will help to relax.
- Avoid using loud alarm clocks.

5. Avoid energy-zappers.

A variety of toxins in food and the environment contribute to a heightened adrenal response.

- Consider Vegetable Juicing for Breakfast.

- Purge your cupboards and medicine chest of chemical-based cleaning products, air fresheners, gardening supplies, shampoos, soaps and deodorants, and find non-chemical alternatives.
- When you eat sugar in any form, it throws your blood sugar out of balance, activating your sympathetic nervous system and causing a variety of other severely disrupting actions to your body. Check out this posting on sweetener too.

Start by making just a few of the changes defined in the five sections above. Step-by-step, you will begin to see major improvements within days. Build on your energy levels and relaxed stress by incorporating more of the changes as you go along, and your adrenal burnout will soon be a distant memory.
